Started with 8 gallons of wax and 60 candles later…

Figured out some support for these double wicks in the XL candles.

Triple smash burgers tonight! 🍔

Tammy led the way while we all helped and the shed is in better shape than it ever has been! I didn’t get a before picture — but you could not see any of the floor before.

Driveway markers are in. Let it snow! 😊

Fall. 🍁

I’ve been using a Libre 3 Plus continuous glucose monitor and paying more attention to the specific foods that cause blood sugar spikes for me. By making tweaks to what I’m eating, when, and the order of foods I’ve lowered by baseline from 90 to closer to 70 with less spikes.

Writing blog posts backdated a couple of days to when the thing actually happened is the most extreme form of not writing for the timeline. It is a gift to my future self when scanning my on this day page to have things show up in the right spots.

Tammy and I have went to the Twin Cities Film Fest showing of Good Fortune tonight at the Edina 4 theatre. It was our first time at a Film Fest event and we got to be all official and vote on the movie. Also, the Edina 4 theatre is just a great place to see a movie in general, but an even better place to see a movie during the Film Fest with tons of dining options nearby to make it a great evening.

The movie itself brings tons of star power with Keanu Reeves, Aziz Ansari, Seth Rogan, Keke Palmer, and Sandra Oh, with Ansari writing and directing it.

The movie tells the story of Arj who is struggling to get by and living out of his car and Jeff who is wealthy from tech investing and has whatever he wants. Their lives get switched by Gabriel the Angel and they get to experience each others reality.

We both gave it ★★★★ and enjoyed the quirky and funny takes while telling a meaningful story.
