Farewell, Sly Stone
If you haven’t see the documentary that Questlove did on Sly Stone, it’s on Hulu and worth the watch. Here’s the interview he did on it. https://www.npr.org/2025/05/26/nx-s1-5407415/questloves-sly-stone-documentary-confronts-the-burden-of-black-genius -
David Montgomery, ISU Alumnus
I was just at the Scouting National Annual Meeting in Orlando this past week and David was there. He’s the new brand ambassador for Scouting America. He gave a great speech. As a surprise, they brought in his scoutmaster and another leader mentioned in the talk up on stage at the end. Great moment. -

North Shore - Duluth and Lake Superior
If you have family members who are a bit more adventurous there’s a day trip you can take out near Hungry Jack (on the Gunflint trail) and then go to Duncan Lake. The portage from Duncan to Rose has an amazing waterfall and beautiful views. It’s a way to go to the BWCA with a day trip form you... -

Friday OT - Granola
Spouse and I are big on plastic minimization in the house. Reusable bags, order cleaning chemicals via compostable packaging (Blueland), etc. We have solar and an electric car. Do out best to try to commute together to work. She's a vegetarian, and most of the meat in the house is from the... -

Not sure if you are willing to make a trip a little further up the North Shore, but there was some solid mountain biking up near Tofte and Grand Marais. https://www.fs.usda.gov/r09/superior/recreation/opportunities/biking https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd804366.pdf I worked... -
