Mike and I saw the Yayoi Kusama exhibit at the Hirschorn in Washington DC in 2022. What a remarkable artist and human being. Thank you Yayoi! #yayoikusama

There’s no U.S. Olympic Curling Team without Minnesota! Great to join Coach Phill, our Mixed Doubles Silver Medalists — MN’s own Korey Dropkin & Cory Thiesse — and their teammates. Can’t wait for the next big win! 🥌 🇺🇸

Yesterday after work we set up the sauna tent north of Duluth on the shore of #lakesuperior. The lake was calm and ice cold, and the sauna was blazing hot!
