The W playoffs being best of three is so annoying.

“Perhaps you should have looked at it more carefully” is Minnesotan for “you’re a repugnant, incompetent idiot but thank you for displaying it in front of god and everyone”.

Happy Homecoming week! We sat on our porch and watched them work. I handed out snacks. Grateful to not have our patio furniture relocated or random curbside treasures dropped off.

The inflection on the last word of this clip is the most Minnesota sound I’ve ever heard.

Kacey Musgraves concert tonight. We got to our section (213) and I showed the usher our tickets. He digs into his pocket and pulls out three paper tickets. We got comped and moved to row E of 113. 😳 I don’t know why or how but I’m not complaining. View of the stage is pretty impressive. 🤠

L1 is one of just four guys on his football team wearing a Q collar this year. Two of the guys have had multiple concussions and the third’s mom is a doctor. I’m grateful he was willing to take our suggestion seriously and be proactive about his physical wellbeing.

Went out with the other senior football parents after our first game (big W!) of the season. It almost feels like being a HS senior myself but with adult money and responsibilities.

L2 and I get to see Kacey Musgraves in a few weeks and I don’t know if I’m hoping she’ll keep doing Dolly tributes or if I’m hoping she won’t because I’m not sure I’m up for it emotionally.

Second week of school and classes are canceled today due to a power outage. It’s sad that my first thought when we got the message late last night was Canada flipped the switch. Actual cause is an issue with our local hydroelectric dam. We’re too far out of town to be impacted at home.

I think the thing that’s sticking with me about Dolly is that she did all that good-in big and small ways-and proved it wasn’t hard. It wasn’t a sacrifice. It didn’t require fanfare. It was simply the right thing to do, so she did it.

Anna O. @greenacresanna.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
I’m so sad about Dolly. I’ve loved her since I was 4 years old and thought she was married to Kenny Rogers because they sang my favorite song together. There will never be anyone like her. An incandescent original.

Our district changed the school calendar this year and after decades of not starting classes until after Labor Day, this year we started two weeks before. It feels very strange to start back on a Monday in August. Equally disconcerting is having a high school freshman and a senior. 🥺

I saw a comment on a video this morning seriously claiming elephants are not real. The number of people agreeing with said comment is why we can’t have nice things.

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I am also not 100% convinced that Bessent isn’t a very sophisticated animatronic interpretation of a human being. He doesn’t move or speak like a real person.

Lots of discourse today about who will get appointed to the senate if Amy wins in November. My mind keeps going to Melissa Hortman and how she would have been a solid choice.

If that’s true, why haven’t Minnesotans elected a Republican to a state-wide office in nearly 20 years? Population matters, Tom.

I will never understand why people with money and influence choose to direct their resources to insane science fiction projects rather than fixing actual existing problems or making the lived experience on our current planet better.

As someone who has to complete regular trainings on how to recognize money laundering and other financial crimes (despite not being in a customer facing role), this is fascinating to me. I would love to see their findings.

We saw and did a lot of cool things over the last ten days, but my favorite memory from this trip might be looking over to see our teenagers playing Uno on an overcrowded train with cards they packed themselves.

We’re raising small town kids who, for now, say they like small towns better than big cities, but they appreciate both. I’m glad we’ve made the effort to expose them to different ways of life so they aren’t dismissive of or intimidated by the unfamiliar.

Rome in July is no joke. I have sweat more in the last two days than in my previous 46 years combined. The high today is 101 degrees. While the weather isn’t ideal, this is the window we had to travel & I’m so grateful for the opportunity to bring our kids abroad while they’re still teenagers.

Dropped L2 off for camp at one of the schools L1 is considering for next year. Camp is only 3 days and it was tough to leave her. This stage of life is fun and I’m so excited for him, but ugh. This last year of having L1 at home full time is going to go way too fast.

This is a niche reference, but the guest list of the Swift/Kelce wedding is giving Truman Capote’s 1966 Black & White Ball, down to people pretending they were invited when they were not.

A bed sheet? A stop sign? What a shameful and disgusting way to think, let alone say out loud from the steps of the Capitol. Truly embarrassing and infuriating that this person is in a position of power. How long before they start suggesting we give it back to France?

Started my week off between jobs at the laundromat. Expensive, but getting 8-10 typical loads of bedding done in two hours instead of two days was worth it.

My new boss sent me a text wishing me a good last day (Today!) and telling me to enjoy being off next week. He’s been kinder and more communicative in the last few weeks than my current leadership has been in three years.

Minnesotans can take pride in many things. Electing Tom Emmer is not on that list.

Enjoy this article from a Minnesota newspaper in 1882 noting that Scandinavians love their home countries so much that it will take them generations to assimilate into America. www.loc.gov/resource/sn8...
SCANDINAVIANS 
No people on earth, probably excel the Scandinavians, and scarcely any equal them, unless it may be the Swiss mountaineers, in attachment to their native country. The Scandinavian emigrant
brings with him to this country, not only his love of home, but his attachments to customs and habits of his old home. So
strong is this passion that it is hard for him to assimilate to the customs of his new home, and to conform to the ideas of American citizenship, but he remains in his adopted land, a foreigner, in all that pertains to his modes, manners, habits,
likes and dislikes.This peculiar habit of our Scandinavian fellow citizens, and this strong, over-mastering attachment to their native land, has not been generally known and appreciated by our own citizens, "to the manor born."
It will take several generations to wear away this foster land attachment, and to assimilate the Scandinavian emigrant, and
absorb him into the language, habits, customs and true idea of a homogeneous American citizenship.

After a solid year of actively working to find a new job, I finally got an offer on Friday! It’s a great opportunity with a great organization working for a boss who has been really great so far. My commute will be cut in half & I’ll keep my hybrid schedule. I am so excited for a fresh start!

Those who have been around for awhile will remember L1 having alopecia. As he’s gotten older he’s been able to take advantage of treatments that have resulted in a full head of hair. That full head of hair is now bleach blonde because his baseball team made it to the state tournament.

They endorse candidates like this and Minnesota Republicans still wonder why they haven’t won a statewide election since 2010.

We were buying flowers today and L2 pointed to a large and lovely hanging basket. I let her know that while it was very nice, it was not $99 nice for us. Under her breath she muttered “stupid tariffs and wars”.

After winning her game by ten runs tonight, L2 said “all the Minnesota teams are going to win tonight.” Then we watched L1’s team win by 10. Then the Twins won. Then the Wild won and advanced. Then the Wolves won and advanced. It wasn’t a prediction. It was a statement of fact. That’s my girl.
