My happy place. Now add snow. ❄️🔥

It is cold enough again to fire up the sauna! 🔥

I hadn’t heard of Underwood Coffee from Duluth before but found their beans at Frgmnt in SPS Tower and decided to give them a try. This Kenya Uteuzi Jimbo was very good! Recommended. ☕️

I’ve had a blast learning Clash Royale with Tyler. They just announced a bunch of changes to “the economy” which meant I needed to use my Book of Cards. I decided to “pay to win” and level up my Witch and Cannon to get maximum benefit from the books. Play Clash Royale? Let’s connect.

It is a rare sight for the Northern Lights to be visible in Minneapolis.

Realized we had some big usability issues in our donation tracking sheets for day 1 of Things 4 Good Candle Fundraiser (right side). I designed a complete redo of it for today’s sale (middle) that I tested this morning and is much better. I also created a candle guide to include with the candles! 🤩

Tonight’s MN United v Seattle Sounders playoff match had everything! Without a doubt the most exciting soccer game I’ve ever been to.

  • United trailing 2 - 0.
  • Tie it up 2 - 2.
  • Get player ejected on RED card.
  • Go ahead 3 - 2.
  • Seattle tie it up 3 - 3.
  • Penalty kicks tie at 3 - 3.
  • Sudden death penalties go to goalies!
  • WIN! WIN! WIN!

An amazing game for the ages!
