I'm a father of two in Minneapolis, a political junkie who's moderate enough to piss off people on both sides of the aisle, and a die-hard Steelers fan.
While visiting the Church of St Peter ad Vincula in the Tower of London, we made friends with the Yeoman Porter on duty. In addition to inviting us to that night’s Ceremony of the Keys, he took us back into the closed section housing the resting place of Saint Thomas More.

For the record, Jimmy Kimmel didn’t say anything negative about Charlie Kirk. He criticized the MAGA folks use of the Charlie Kirk murder for political purposes.

Trump’s policies have led to a significant decrease in international tourism. That decrease is projected to cost us more than $20 billion dollars.
Now he’s turning our capital into a police state. How much economic damage will this latest move cause? I suspect it will be in the billions of dollars.

Given what RFK Jr. is doing to healthcare in the US, it is time for the industry to - providers and private payers - to take a stand. They need to announce that they will ignore recommendations from ACIP and its junk scientists, and instead follow the guidance of real scientists.

A beautiful night for softball at Jane Sage Cowles field on the University of Minnesota campus. E has aged out of playing but gets to coach the 14u team on this beautiful field.

Off to Vegas for a work-related conference. I would be excited to go and have fun at the casinos, but then I remembered how cheap I am and how much I hate losing money.

After 4 years of classes in high school, my youngest has received her official seal for being bilingual in ASL. She’s hoping to continue her ASL education in college.

Day 3 and I’m absolutely loving my new BMW i4 - I keep looking for new excuses to go drive somewhere.

Today I am purchasing a new fully electric BMW i4! I was planning to hold onto my plug-in Chevy Volt for a while longer, but it’s been needing more shop visits of late and I don’t want to be stuck buying after tariffs and other economic uncertainties cause prices to skyrocket.

In case anyone was wondering: If representing your side in politics requires you to defend the Dark Lord of the Sith, then you are likely to be on the wrong side of history. Just sayin’

After years of parenting a theater kid, this is the final high school program for kid #2. Maybe it will continue as she starts college, maybe it won’t. It’s strange to think that this could be coming to an end.

Just finished binging “The Pitt” - one of the best shows I’ve seen in a while. It’s not for the faint of heart but great TV if you can handle a very realistic look at what goes on in big ERs these days.

Hey RFK, you degenerate piece of garbage: Just so we’re clear, my 17 year old daughter is on the autism spectrum and she is already far more scientifically literate than you. She has a job and pays taxes, and will likely contribute more to society than you ever will. Your ignorance is astounding.

So let me get this straight: Colleges are not supposed to let protesters wear masks to hide their identity, but masks are fine for ICE agents coming to arrest legal immigrants who dared to support those protesters. Yeah, that makes sense.

Amy and I had a nice night in Saint Paul. Dinner at Kincaid’s, then to the Ordway for the final performance of “Come From Away”, stayed overnight at The Intercontinental Riverfront, and then breakfast at Keys.

I think this is the biggest snow we’ve had in a couple years. Juju the frenchie stepped out to pee this morning and he was completely under the snow.
