That is so sharp!

I found that I don’t think “ugh pizza again tonight“ 😅 No, it feels great knowing that somebody else is making dinner even though it’s the same thing! That helped me relax about making a frittata every week. (Nearly every week.)

For sure!
One funny thing that helped me: Having someone else do one night. Our 22-year-old who still lives at home chips in by making dinner once a week. She always makes a frozen pizza and then she does a really nice homemade Caesar salad. And on Tuesday nights when I’m driving home from work

Weekly for me, so about 4/month. (It took me a while to accept that much, though! I thought it was not caring enough or something.)

Thanks, that’s going on the shopping list. 😎

A guy and a dog sit on a back step, looking over a backyard that’s lit nicely right when dusk is at its highest.

Warm enough in the 651 that the dog and I could sit outside to wait for mom and child to return from their workdays.

I just said “wait what?!?” so loud it startled the dog

Letterboxd Tuesday — I like it!

😅
I def feel like it’s only a matter of time before it works in some recent Google search of mine.

Thought for sure we were gonna get one of your posts from the library where it’s just you and nobody else 😅

Posters for the movies: Honey Don’t Caught Stealing Late Spring Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy

Oh yeah, #LastFourWatched and #LetterboxdFriday!
A highlight: I was home sick earlier in the week, which allowed me to watch Late Spring while having a quiet house all to myself. It was one of those experiences where you stop existing in time while watching.

I saw ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS earlier this month and it was a 4 1/2 star for me as well. I guess I’m a melodrama guy! 😅

Looking down a beautifully, perfectly cleared long stretch of Saint Paul sidewalk, with snow on all sides and a garage lit with the warmth of an alley light and from a job well done

Look on my Works, ye Mighty!

I just drove St Louis Park to Saint Paul. I think you’ve got the right idea. Waaaaay slicker than I expected.

I second this. The Black Cab tour was incredibly sobering. And the Titanic Museum really is impressive. (And I gotta say the food in Belfast was incredible as well.)

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.

That colon. Not visible in the main poster image. Kind of important. I get it now.

I am very confused about this

Ha! It’s also when your younger colleagues come up on their first prep. They are now super interested in hearing what your experience was and what advice you’ve got.

Oh man. For me it’s kind of … part of the drive when giving out of town guests The Tour? I drive past it first, then down into downtown. (Then back up to the cathedral and Summit Ave.)
So I yeah, maybe it’s the entry to downtown.

That’s right I’m living Superb Owl Sunday 😎

And by “Owl” I mean “Ed Ruscha’s PARKING LOTS photos at the Walker,” naturally

Hello from the place where it’s all happening😕
What have we learned this week? Movie-wise I mean?
I learned there is an Assayas movie that doesn’t keep my attention.
And that melodrama continues to be It. I was rapt like *5 seconds* into ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS.
#LastFourWatched
#LetterboxdFriday

Yes! 😅

For us this turns (logically) to the next step, which is saying to your spouse, “Say; probably nothing; but: If I’m having a heart attack, I just want to say it’s been nice being married to you.” 😅

That song is *bulletproof*. You don’t stand a chance against it!

That is lovely

Glad you’re here reminding folks ❤️

I forgot for a second that we’re just over the line in 64B — You gave me a heart attack! 😅

I don’t think it would make a difference. However! I think Cantonese just sounds cooler/more expressive.
(Me = Non-speaker; 4 years living in Hong Kong; plus a Mandarin-fluent wife. Take that for what it’s worth. 😅)

This week’s #LastFourWatched / #LetterboxdFriday is all over the map!
(When you live in the Twin Cities these days though, you don’t ask questions about how your downtime / recharging time is spent. We’re all doing what we need to do, day by day.)
