We all watched Scrapper tonight. It was loved by critics and won multiple awards. For us it moved very slow and was too much “in your face” indie. The story was good and all, but a rare case of a movie we almost stopped watching.

Another morning at Getaway Motor Cafe. Got a mug for home and a Nose Warmer Latte. Very good breakfast treats too.

Tammy and I rescued Robin Hood in the Sherwood Forest room at No ESC Puzzle Collective in Shakopee tonight. Took 59m 36s!

Tammy and I had our first free court time at Mega Pickleball today. We practiced various drills getting ready to play others.

It was a bit windy today but otherwise good time on the Three Mile Walk at the Minnesota Arboretum.

Nice morning at Getaway Motor Cafe in Carver. Great coffee and food. Love the vibe. Surprise bonus that they have Cardigan Donuts on Saturday! ☕️🍩

We watched Game Night tonight. Fun movie!

Two times this week I attempted to add a link to Pinboard and found out I had already added it. In one case I added it two years ago and in another five years! It always makes me chuckle a little bit when that happens.

We all had a fun time at Lucky Shot Pickleball taking the beginner class tonight.

Another Ice Throne. This time at the Ice Palace in Delano.

Enjoying a Potica Latte with my brother Isaiah at Lynette.

Helped my brother transfer his domain name ikeating.com from GoDaddy to NameCheap this morning. We were able to complete the whole process in about an hour. As long as you do all the steps right it wasn’t too difficult. Also see his blog post covering the move.

We had another super fun evening at Activate in Roseville playing fun games! Highly recommend checking this place out.

Me looking serious on the Ice Throne at Ice Castles.

Mazie brought a variety of chocolate and coffee back from Costa Rica to share with us! 🇨🇷🍫☕️

I have about 130 posts with embedded “tweets” on my blog. If those folks delete their account I delete my embed of those. It seems like every couple days I get errors because the original tweet has been deleted, and the account is gone. The steady stream of folks off of X continues.

Mazie returns home tonight from 4 weeks in Costa Rica at CIEE Monteverde in the mountains then fun trip to Manuel Antonio on the beach. She’s had an amazing time from the sound of it. Her biggest adventure ever. I’m very happy to have her back home for a bit before heading back to college. 🇨🇷

We watched Inception tonight. Tammy and I are both sure we saw it when it was released but didn’t remember much of anything. Tyler thought it was a really good movie. 🍿

School cancelled for tomorrow due to extreme cold. Tyler was ecstatic to hear the news. Forecast is for -15 °F at 8am tomorrow and the cold snap breaks around noon. 🥶

The Weekly Thing was supposed to be back this last weekend but I decided to extend the winter break one more week. Expect the first issue of 2025 next weekend!
