My mistake: forgot to put up the picture of Addled Jesse yesterday. Looks less added in retrospect, but, well, whatever.
Child has a sleepover, and my wife’s off tomorrow, so we’re going to sit outside and sip light, refreshing beverages and perhaps plan a summer vacation. Too late, you say? Not if you [...]
I like and admire Jeff Jarvis, because he’s a smart guy, unsparing in his evaluation of modern media failure, and uncommonly perspicacious about the future of media. A rare old-media guy who got it early on and managed to build a name as an evangelizer without sounding like someone who got eased out the corner [...]
A grand day. Some interesting Motel Skulduggery awaits at the end of all this. Or, if you’re impatient, go here, and click on to the fourth new page. But really: you can wait.
Daughter has decided to read Harry Potter, perhaps because it got the Imprimatur of Teen Cool from a camp counselor, [...]
Daughter is back from camp. She loves it; what kid doesn’t? I wonder what she’ll remember – I went to the same place for seven years, and have about five or six memories.
Getting “suicides” at the canteen, which meant one squirt of every soda flavor. We all pronounced it delicious and exotic. I also [...]
Placeholder banner: the horrors. It’ll have to do. But watch that space.
At some point my daughter decided she wanted a room that was pink and red. Odd, we thought; not a pink girl. But she liked a room in a catalogue, and since it was time to move beyond the trappings of toddlerhood, this [...]
Hiatus week now concludes with an update, albeit a small one. The Permanent Collection has three fine new artworks, two of which have audio guides to interpret the work for you. There’s also a column at Startribune.com about the death-sentence given to one of my trees by the roving band of reapers who tagged an [...]
AUGH. Even though I’m still on hiatus, I did have a post yesterday. With links. Check below.
The last shuttle comes down today, and that’s the end of that.
All of that.
A few nights ago I had a yen for a Bond flick, and called up my have – “You Only [...]
The heat is on. If you’re wondering where, specifically: it’s on the street. Today was the most humid day in Minneapolis history, and yes, that stretches back millions of years, before this city even existed. Our records are that good. (Fossilized trilobite sweat, if you’re wondering.) More of the same Tuesday, and more due Wednesday. [...]
I have two vacations this summer. This is one of them. So . . . I don’t know what I’m doing here, exactly, except to say that I’m on vacation.
Sorry – a staycation! See, I’m still working at the paper, but Gnat’s off to camp, and the diminished domestic obligations frees up time for [...]
Coming back from piano on Friday: Child is singing some “Ninja Song.” It’s all about how you can’t see me, because I am a ninja. I say no. That is not the Ninja song.
“So what is the Ninja song.”
“Wait.” I hold up a finger for silence. We drive a few blocks. “There. That [...]
