Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 23hOh no! I brought black dress pants for the dignified parts of work (starting with a funeral meeting, then church), but I wore jeans with a brown belt, and now I risk looking like I can't dress myself. Luckily it's a donut sale weekend, so I think I can fix this by removing the need for a belt. 110
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 23hThis is tomorrow, and we *will* have holy water. So if you've ever wondered whether your pet is possessed by demons, just wait for the end of the ceremony and see if they start sizzling when they get sprinkled. (Nothing in this post should be taken as serious Catholic theology.) 020
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This Sunday I will lead the blessing of the animals at St. Albert the Great, and I would love to see you and your dogs, cats, lizards, turtles, birds, guinea pigs and other animal companions. 160

Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I'm here to eat catfish and listen to jazz, and I'm all out of... actually, wait, I'm not out of catfish, guess I get to do both. 1110
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I patched industrial work gloves and aprons. Put a sticky patch over the hole and then smooshed it with a hot press. 031
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Hi, I'm Ed Burke, a formation director in St. Paul. I am married with two grown kids and three cats. I like in "get him back!" when Alexander 23 counts them in and then stops to ask "wait, is this the song with the drums?" Would you like to introduce yourself with a small song moment you like? 000
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Some of the fun facts people have posted for this skeet are not, in fact, facts. (To be clear, that's not commentary, that's my fun fact). 110

Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Hey hey, the skullet video is up, and since this is a public video produced as part of a promotion she voluntarily participated in, I feel like I can share my kid's recent fashion choice (which has since become a full shave). www.facebook.com/share/r/1FCs...facebook.com 051

Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Well, it was a good run, but today several yellowjackets joined me while I was eating lunch in the parish garden. 140
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 03/08/2026It was certainly well done. I'm less sure about whether it was good. 030
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 03/08/2026In about three hours, we'll be ready to participate in the discourse. 010
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I'm glad to see that the site hosting the meeting I'm at understands the importance of providing a microphone even in relatively small spaces. I mean, nobody's actually using the microphone, but, baby steps. 040
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't... okay, y'know what, the qualifiers aren't really necessary. 010
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 16/07/2026And much to my dismay, this has now been *wildly* exceeded. (My daughter works roughly halfway between that 916 and 1615. But she is being sent home today). 130
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 15/07/2026I won't be calling tonight, but I'll sell you a hot dog meal deal until about 6:00. If you come, say hi. If you prefer a "hot dog," we'll sell you one of those as well. I had one last week, and it was reasonably tasty. 010
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 15/07/2026I've, um. Never seen a number that high on one of these. 47315
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I will be calling Bingo tomorrow night, starting around 7:30. $5 to play Bingo for most of the night (a few cash games are extra). $5 more for dinner. Whenever you win a game, you can choose something from the prize table. Prizes are a mix of fun, practical, and bizarre. 020
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Hey! Did you watch any of the group stage matches at El Nuevo Campo? Was it awesome? Let them know you'd like to see more. Did you miss the opportunity to watch the World Cup on Lake Street and wish you had another chance to watch on the big screen with neighbors and food trucks? Let them know! 022
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 01/07/2026As someone who recently found out that I've always been Canadian (though I have not done the paperwork to confirm that status), bonne fête du Canada! This holiday is deeply important to me. (Also, thank you to the people who reminded me that it was today). 010
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 28/06/2026New party game: World Cup operator. Get ten people, one of whom understands the offside rule. That person explains it to one person, who explains it to the next, and so on. For bonus fun, make them play a soccer game using the rule as stated by the last person. 020
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 20/06/2026We're only 30 miles south of the cities right now, and it's cloudy, but not even a hint of rain. 220
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Okay, I know FIFA sucks, and we all wish that people were boycotting the games in the US (though I think the case for boycotting Qatar was stronger, and it didn't happen), nevertheless here we are. *cough* *gets ready to duck* Allez les Bleus! 030
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 11/06/2026At the Earth to Eve concert, which I've been looking forward to for about 18 months before it was announced. Sitting on the bench like a dork because reasons. 020
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 06/06/2026It's bag day at the St. Albert the Great rummage sale. Fill a small bag for $3 or a large bag for $5. There's still a fair amount of clothing and some housewares, games, and knick-knacks. Open until noon. 021
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 05/06/2026The St. Albert the Great rummage sale closes tomorrow, and we always have some good stuff left at the end. And while I'm fine with the leftovers going to a thrift store, I'd rather see them get directly to people who can use them. (1/4) 100
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 04/06/2026There were about seventy people lined up at 9:00, but there are still plenty of good items for the less serious shoppers. 010
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 03/06/2026So apparently this form I'm filling out that has little save buttons after each section requires you to hit save for each section 110
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 02/06/2026St. Albert the Great's rummage sale is on Thursday and Friday. I do regret to inform you that the cute green tea kettle you can see in the back of one of those photos is no longer available as it is the one that transformed itself into a cat yesterday. 020
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Brought home a kettle and it transformed into a cat 1100
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Where does one go in the Twin Cities for funky tacos? Bang bang shrimp and the like. I could give my daughter a dozen recs for street tacos, but I can't tell her where to get, say, coconut shrimp with mango salsa. Needs decent fish or poultry options since she doesn't eat red meat. 020
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 25/05/2026A new children's book: The Trip to the Airport. They get off the shuttle bus and count their suitcases: One! Two! Yay! We have all our suitcases. They count their carry-ons: One! Two! Yay! We have all our carry-ons. 100
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 20/05/2026You probably haven't been thinking "how can I support St. Albert the Great," but perhaps you HAVE been thinking "I should get rid of some of my stuff." And this is a low-hassle way to get rid of stuff and have it get to someone else who wants it. 020
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 13/05/2026Just a phenomenal deal on a $5 giant slightly stale decorated chocolate chip cookie from Cub. 050
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 10/05/2026For Mother's Day, our daughter got her mom the opportunity to listen to her be a guest on her friend's college radio show (WMHB). They're playing a good selection of music! They maybe don't quite have professional level patter down yet. 130
Ed Burke @edburkemsp.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Went to the closing cookout at Owamni. A great final meal before the move and name change. (Not pictured: the phenomenal and giant bison rib that I got on my second plate). 080
