G. Love and Special Sauce maybe 1997?

I’ve been eating at Tommy’s since it opened, and visit at least twice whenever I’m back in Cleveland Heights. And when a 99 year old friend asked for me to procure a milkshake for my visit an hour away on a 90 degree day, they cheerfully packed it up for me. www.foodandwine.com/cleveland-re...

1970, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, "Ohio." 2026, Bruce Springsteen, "Streets of Minneapolis." This is true patriotism.

Board game weekend deep in the Wisconsin woods. This year’s “new game” is from 1962: “Squatter” about sheep ranching in the outback

"To clear up any confusion: YES, I’m real, YES, you’re getting paid, NO, this isn’t a hastily written humor bit. The president confirmed it, and there is no greater source of truth and reason than him."

It’s real that struggling businesses are taking the hit today for expressing solidarity with the victims of ICE slavecatchers. So for those with means, I declare the weekend Spent That Shit Saturday and Sunday at their shops and eateries to provide them some instant payback. #spendthatshit

today in the reformer — you really can't overstate how ubiquitous anti-ICE actions are in the twin cities right now

St Paul in normal times (last July)… a shape note singing

No NZ SuperSmash tonight so I’m gonna need a different narcotic

The Cuyahoga youtu.be/XVNuT4fkjAs?...

Exotic Birds played the Case Quad for my 1984 freshman mixer. The lead guitar player was Trent Reznor.

Listening to @thesportive.com podcast and all of the ads are for mental health therapy. Seems redundant since The Sportive is therapy for me to distract me from (look up and down your timeline)

Can’t decide between running for governor and applying to be the head coach of the Browns.

He’s gonna be more disappointed that Tommy’s on Coventry doesn’t open until noon so no morning milkshakes

@billchilds.bsky.social listening to the back half of this @hollyanderson.bsky.social special quiz of potato recipes all I could think about was Spudzza. open.spotify.com/episode/4vC1...

Oh, man. This one hurts. RIP Joe Ely.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. hard mode

Selling xmas trees until 6pm at Holy Spirit on Randolph in St Paul between Snelling and Hamline

An ABC News story about Sacred Harp… I count at least six Minnesota singers (alas none quoted). abcnews.go.com/US/video/tra...

Back at it selling Xmas trees at Holy Spirit in St Paul (Randolph between Snelling and Hamline)

Selling Xmas trees until 3 at Holy Spirit on Randolph between Snelling and Hamline in St Paul

@dwade.bsky.social big news

Monday: escalated. Today: successfully resolved

Evergreen tweet

Special thanks today to @edsbs.bsky.social for reminding me to listen to more Patrice Rushen

The state of Minnesota civil servant I called with a personal issue today answered on the third ring, had a clear and concise explanation for my problem, recommended a simple course of action, and informed me that if it didn’t work to call back next week to escalate. She was empathetic and funny.

Producer at PTI who writes Wilbon’s opening and Tony’s response has an easy weekend

The great thing about the ESPN+ multiview is there’s always action…

Pretty sure this is a higher definition of the Nordiques and Whalers than when I saw either of them play the Crusaders at smoke filled Cleveland Arena when I was a little kid.

One of the advantages of being a Guardians fan is that I got a two week head start. No, wait.

The local bank branch of Ohio Savings in 1983 played a "beautiful music" strings version of the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" while I was in there. I closed my account. I'm sure the low three figures value was missed.

The shocking news: it’s not me.

Wild win in a shootout

Doughnuts for breakfast!!!

86 degrees on the day I update the annual alley snowplowing flyer.

Skipping work for Wits.

We signed Kirill. The Guardians have a playoff game today. Life ain’t bad.

Rooting interest, in order Cleveland almost everyone else New York

@randballsstu.bsky.social closing in on #ILS territory

Meanwhile, across the street from my brother’s house (he’s fine) www.cleveland.com/news/2025/09...

www.npr.org/2025/09/22/n... very nice little piece on the new Sacred Harp book. We’ll sing from it this weekend mnfasola.org?page_id=163

@hollyanderson.bsky.social dammit Holly it’s been 18 hours and I’m still singing “Are You Washed in the Blood” at frequent random intervals

@jonmarthaler.com you’re not going to believe this, but the Twins are… well ahead

Rooting for a sweep (one of us anyway)

Sacred Harp 2025 Edition local release party tonight. This green book replaces the red one we’ve been singing from since 1991. The 100-odd songs sung least often are replaced by 100-odd new ones, predominantly by living composers. “Promotion and Relegation” for soccer folks.

It’s time for Dodger baseball

Flying across the country, watching a replay of Saturday’s United Convention (Sacred Harp). Time goes fast.

I got engaged 23 1/2 years ago (in the left field stands at the Metrodome) so why is the Cleveland paper waiting until now to run the news?
