Today is Susan's 57th birthday. I was able to find Judee Sill's two albums on vinyl and both were nearly mint.

Our dear friends' daughter is a freshman on the Washburn High School Ultimate Team. Yesterday, they took the title at the national invitation tournament by soundly beating South Eugene (OR).

She also won Rookie of the Year during the MN State Tournament.

There are something like seven first year students on the WHS team this year, all of whom played together in middle school. They will likely remain a strong team for at least the next three years.

And it took for fucking ever. Google gave us like 8000 choices in the wrong size or indoor only or whatever.

And I longed for the day when we drove to a Target or a Dayton's or, hell, a Menards and walked into the patio area and looked at the four available rugs and if there was one that worked, great! If there wasn't one we just went on with our lives with no rug.

Peonies are at their peak around here.

Went to the St Paul farmers' market this morning. It's sort of my spiritual centering spot here in the Twin Cities.

Right before approaching the table with the beets the woman had cut the greens off of two bunches for a shopper. I said "they don't know what they are missing" and the woman asked if I wanted them and put them into my bag. We just had about half the greens sauteed for breakfast along with scrambled eggs.

The strawberries are early this year and they weren't cheap but they are amazing. One of the joys of summer.

The freeze dried kimchi is amazing. The guy selling it is the maker and he said it just occured to him when he was freeze drying mushrooms he had foraged. Funky. Spicy. I will likely crumble it over rice.

A freind who lives in Missouri sent me this screenshot.
