I mourn for Ontario, drive home from Kenora/Lake of the Woods just two days ago and it was lovely
When a friend accidentally texts the “wrong” Amy a photo from tonight’s Mellencamp show at Mystic Lake and you realize it and suggest they check out Jesse Welles next
This is the “art” that’s in our hotel room and it keeps freaking me out.
I saw Angine de Poitrine in Winnipeg last night and this popped up on my phone before they started
I’m at an Angine de Poitrine show right now in Winnipeg. It’s as bizarro as you would expect. What a world.
This is so funny. What letters should they remove first at the Kennedy Center?
I’m 111th in line on Libby for this book so just bought it. Love it.
My kid in Winnipeg convinced us and my other kid in Bellingham, WA to download this goofy app called Roost. So we send each other messages but they aren't instant -- they take as long to arrive as the bird you select would take to fly the distance you're apart.
I think someone who doesn’t follow sports had to write this headline. First, it wasn’t a “must-win” Game 3 in a seven-game series and second, it’s not Victory. (Reminds me of my Yukon headline snafu though)
I love today’s wacky “Jeopardy” crew — and a late congrats to my friend’s kid who rocked it on Monday.
So, on Friday night, some friends bought us tix to Black Angels @first-avenue.com because they like the band, and it was fine. I texted my friend Rob “check out Pinback and Secret Machines” — but any other recommendations?
I bought the cat pillow in Türkiye because it resembles one of my kid’s cats (named Nori), but then we adopted this cat (named Tambourine).
I’ve been watching a lot of Brewers game lately. This cracks me up.
I normally make a point to travel somewhere remote on my birthday (Oman, Bhutan, Bali, India) but may have to hang at home this year. Thanks for the h/t @kevinfarner.bsky.social!
Last night at a honky-tonk in Texas, a woman at the table next to us got into a fight with another woman because she didn’t remove her cowboy hat when the band opened with “The Star Spangled Banner.” 🇺🇸
In the past week, I’ve had some amazing food in MN (was traveling through French Polynesia the previous week). Get to Soul Lao now for the pork belly fried rice and amazing egg rolls AND head to Juche for the Korean dishes, especially the Trust Me burger.
Traveling when the time zone change is just a 30-minute difference, not a full hour, is a trip, let me tell you. (Tahiti to Nuku-Hiva in French Polynesia) 🇵🇫
I’m in French Polynesia and just turned on the TV to hear the Tr*mp news, had a moment of hope but then just got this garbage
Made it to French Polynesia — going to explore Tahiti, Hauhine and the Marquesas Islands this week
