Today there were several outings. And we drove the entire length of I-35E. See, when Interstate 35 (I-35) reaches the Twin Cities it splits into I-35W and I-35E. East goes through St Paul and west through Minneapolis. My girlfriend Chris and my first stop was a Sons of Norway picnic south of the Twin Cities … Read more
My girlfriend Chris checked the health data on her phone and found she walked 1/2 a mile yesterday which is significantly longer than she had walked post surgery. This is good progress but she was feeling it today so we didn’t do any further walks through long theaters like we did last night. We did … Read more

I drove my girlfriend Chris to her morning lab work (related to surgery recovery and the meds she is on) and then we took a drive to Greg’s Meats. I had a craving for steak over the weekend and Greg’s is always a good place to go for that. It was a beautiful drive there. … Read more
My girlfriend Chris ran some morning errands and otherwise had a relaxing day. I did some more writing and we watched some movies and streaming series. We finished watching Good Omens and I think it would have worked better as a 5 episode series rather than a 6 episode series. I felt it got stretched … Read more
