Happy belated birthday to these two. Coincidence?

Now I’m thinking about (toasting, really) @matthewhleach.bsky.social while I’m in Philly.

Very romantic anniversary dinner. If this wasn’t ok with me, we wouldn’t have made it 32 years.

I enjoy this fun fact. The end of it, specifically. Also, anyone else here?

When I heard my sandwich came with a pickle, I didn’t imagine a single slice. But I’m not mad about the lunch view.

Mass starts at 4:30. Google maps says it’s a 15 minute drive. Anyone want to take bets what time we’re leaving my parent’s place?

Chrissie Bonnes@chrissietvor· Feb 5

Have lunch here and say “thank you” to the Geek afterwards.

….remembering (in my nerdy way) Sam’s words to Frodo:

“Frodo: I can’t do this, Sam.

Sam: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?

Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo… and it’s worth fighting for.”

My sign was neither matching nor well written.

I honestly thought this one was an analogy for our country.

Pretty snow globe night downtown! If you could ignore what was happening on the street.

Gingerbread Wonderland at Norway House is completely worth the $10 admission (though on Thursday it’s free with a sauna!) You should go!

Vikings game neighbor (in a Very Minnesotan Accent): “Oh Geeze.” Me: “In a lot of cities, you’d have said something much worse.” Him: “Can you imagine what they’d say in Philly?” Me: “Are you…trolling me?” Him: “No! What? Why??” Me: “You didn’t notice my earrings?”

Chrissie Bonnes@chrissietvor· Dec 20

Same!

When you travel with the Geek;

Text conversation:
“We picked up French hitchhikers who knew where MN is because of the Timberwolves, Anthony Edwards, and Rudy Gobert.”

Me: “I hope the roads aren’t too terrible.” John and the Lyft driver, in unison: “They’re horrible!”
