Recognizing my amazing friend Marta: prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/12/merr...

Want to give something to your friends who are also colleagues but $ is low this time of year? Take a look at their "Skills" on their Linked In profile and see if you can endorse any of them (but only if you have experience with them on that, of course!) I just did, and it was very appreciated!

Dammit, @mprnews.org! You need to trigger warning those stories! #Whamaggedoned

It’s the 11th of December. The 10th is the day my mom went into the hospital for the final time in 2006. It’s now been 1/3 of my life. Every Single Year I wonder why I suddenly feel so down right about now. Some things just get ingrained into the psyche.

Thinking about my college experience: prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/12/alma...

My PSA for the day is that having a furnace red-tagged over a long holiday weekend is every bit as miserable as you would expect, and furnace replacement is Really Expensive....

On the road again! prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/11/nola...

As if I didn't have enough on my plate with 11/17 deadlines, GTTM Day, and Thanksgiving next week — oh year, I have to get eleventy-billion Paid Medical and Family Leave notices out! Don't be like me, folks!

To have a plan that only works when a situation encounters no issues ... is not really having a plan.

I, like everyone else in my feed, was enchanted by the lights tonight: prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/11/auro...

When you try to watch Dancing With the Stars live to ease election night angst and Disney streaming goes down....

I can't say this enough - if you're an organization writing a grant, stick to what you know you are doing. Don't think you need to embellish the proposal. Reading grants for panels I have been on lately is more playing "two truths and a lie" than ever before, and I'm tired of it.

Happy Halloween — and EA eve to all those who celebrate!

One day you're all punk rock and the next you are digging through the "good dryer lint" to make firestarters (but still listening ot David Byrne while you do.)

My daughter's school has security guards at the door that most kids ignore. She knows all of them and can tell us in detail about their lives. Her school has a "You Belong" campaign right now and I think they are don't even notice things like this, but I am so proud of her.

A day of looking for things! Thanks, @talkdeath.bsky.social! prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/10/find...

Getting into the *spirit* of things: prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/10/hall...

When you find out that the guy kind of goofing around on the piano while you were at Grand Central Station seeing the Dear New York exhibit was Lin-Manuel Miranda...

Saint Paul folks — want to learn more about @kaohlyforstp.bsky.social's platform before the November 4 mayoral election? I would love to see you at this event: www.mobilize.us/kaohlyherfor...

Listening to a piece on MPR about the George Morrison show at the Met, and so happy to have seen it this last weekend!

Ummm, brrrr.....

Family fun! prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/10/24-h...

The problem with Wits is that you have earworms for days. Damn you, @johnmoe.bsky.social! #holdonforonemoreday

Best news of the night so far is that this WITS show will be on public radio. Hey, @mprnews.org, I and the 1,057 people here would like it EVERY week!

Woo hoo!

Must See. prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/09/the-...

Three great reasons to celebrate National Daughter's Day! prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/09/nati...

Good news: we were given Renn Fest tickets so we can see our daughter in action working there! Bad news: they are not valid this weekend :(

Wow, having a senior is not for the faint of heart! prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/09/slip...

A little getting out of my comfort zone! prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/09/hors...

It looks much nicer to pull into our alley now: prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/09/gara...

Why go see the movie version of Hamilton? prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/09/hami...

We love having people come to stay! prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/09/be-o...

My well-deserved twelfth cocktail of the summer: prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/09/cock...

A brief but impactful Bucket List trip: prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/08/milw...

Related to previous post: no one tells you how difficult it is to be facing all the emotional lasts while simultaneously trying to get them ready for applying to/preparing for college. It's a distracting dichotomy.

It's the last last day of high school summer vacation for my kid. Yikes.

Yes it's a pool party night! Stop by if you know what I am talking about (or even if you don't)!

Who needs cake when you have cocktails? prologuist.blogspot.com/2025/08/cock...

SO happy to have switched our philanthropic giving to the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation! I have so much respect for them and the work they are doing! spmcf.org/blog/minneso...

There was hail. Not much hail. I don't need a new roof. Thank you.

Just the dogs (and cats) and me for the pool party today, because Patrick and Beatrix have a 2-show day. Stop on by after 3:30 and see us!
