I was also a perfect parent before I had kids. No parent of actual kids would ever make a post like this.

No state is perfect. Make fun of Minnesota’s cold weather all you want… But we’ve got fresh water, no risk of hurricanes or earthquakes, more Fortune 500 cos per capita than any other state, all books are legal, women have rights AND we have an $18 billion budget surplus.

I love this. In a high cost of living city, maximizing space like this makes a ton of sense. Would you live here?

My dad died last night. I was at his bedside for his last 36 hours. I was holding his hand when he took his last breath. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the experience of holding someone’s hand and watching them take their final breath. It was intense. And beautiful. He

Great story tonight. There’s been this guy who works at our local coop bagging groceries. He’s handsome, put together and always seemed intelligent when we made small talk. Looked around my age (45). Something didn’t add up. I ran into him tonight at our block party. Turns
