"New driver’s license hot in my Velcro wallet.
I drove her to a steakhouse—K-Bob’s—to impress.
No fool, when the waiter asked how, I replied, Well done."

The fiery sky through my bedroom window this morning.

The sky may indeed be falling, but for a few glorious minutes this morning, it was exquisite in its descent.

ICE is staying at this hotel in downtown Minneapolis. Instead of screaming at them, we tried serenading them with encouragement to defect and lay down their weapons. #singingresistance

All the better. I can take a deeper, more satisfying breath, knowing that.

That photo of your mom in the puffy coat lives in my mind. I've always loved that one. 🩷❤️🩷❤️🩷

Sign requesting that neighbors and community members from all over step outside and light a candle. It says, "Shine a light for Minnesota."

That looks amazing

Duchess mug filled with espresso and topped with whipped cream and sprinkles sits in the middle of a blue felt puzzle mat amongst pink flowery puzzle pieces, partially completed. Some of the pieces indicate fruit and butterflies and poppies. Pink and lime green puzzle trays are stacked in the blurred background. In the distance, some windows, morning.

Good morning, all.

Someday I'll talk to you children about skimming a little off the top of each dewy morning, but not yet. You won't understand until you're older.

Bouquet of flowers in a clear vase on kitchen island countertop. In front of the vase rests a Duchess mug of espresso with a generous swirl of whipped cream and sprinkles on top. The colorful sprinkles match the colorful flowers. Decorative starfish to the right. Blurred dining table with a couple of chairs askew in background.

Hello, community 💐

Focus your mind and your actions very intently on what you can do to improve the world, even if it's only as far as your arms can reach.

The truest! Thank you, Charlie!
