How is it possible that I’m just now discovering how amazing Swedish Cream is. Wow.

Geared up for sunrise winter photography.

Out early shooting the sunrise. Good waves on Lake Superior.

Morning coffee and pastry at 190° Coffee and Tea.

Good morning from Duluth, Minnesota.

We’ve lived in this house for over a year and I’m now ready to tackle figuring out what uses so much electricity. Usage is far higher than I would expect and is higher in the winter than in the summer! Looking for some answers with Advantage Electric on it. ⚡️

Finally watched Oppenheimer tonight. Incredible movie. 🍿

Valentin brought Medovik last night. I got to try my very first slice today and it is delicious and so pretty! The honey and caramel flavors are so good. 🍯

While blog gardening today I found random <0xa0> characters in over 100 blog posts. A quick search revealed it as the decimal for a non-breaking space. A quick replace in micro.blog with a simple removed them, except two posts that had them in the title, which I manually fixed.

We had friends and colleagues from Ukraine as well as local folks that have moved from Ukraine over for dinner, lots of wine, and even more stories and laughs. It was a wonderful evening for my spirit and soul. 🇺🇦💙💛

Watched Monday’s Daily Show with John Stewart and wish he was on every night. Seemed like riding a bike for him — was smooth and funny right away. Felt like good times again.

I was very excited to read that OmniFocus is now on TestFlight for Vision OS! I enrolled and am now one step closer to having my core productivity tools in Vision OS.

We saw Jax Hollow at The Dakota for the first time tonight. Talented musician and performer. I think she is just getting started. 🎶

Honored to get this amazing Ukrainian vyshyvanka from Yuri — visiting for the first time in five years. I’m looking forwarding to celebrating Ukrainian culture on Vyshyvanka Day in May. Tammy got a matching one too. 🇺🇦

Very fun time playing in virtual reality at REM5VR today. Space Pirate and Elven Assassin still favorites.

It was great to see Mason Jennings at the Dakota tonight. The vibe of the Dakota is perfect for him. I left thinking it would be amazing if he did a residency there for a couple months.

It seems we were at a stoplight behind a Dungeon Master. 😎
