Mic and I had a date day at the IMA Galleries. I always come away from there feeling like it was worthwhile. I also always aspire to sketch lots of things and end up only sketching a few and feeling good about even fewer of them. 😂

One sketch I felt good about this visit

We’ve enjoyed giving some more intention to our local institutions lately. For us, that’s meant buying locally just a little more—usually bread, or going ahead and getting that museum membership. Now we’ll total three of them for 2026, which is exciting! We think we’ll reap a lot of good experiences for ourselves, the kids, and all of us together.

The human creature is such a deceptively simple thing to look at. You can watch someone peel an orange or trip up a flight of stairs, and forget that inside they are strange and infinite. Take a human by the wrist and you have in your hand a piece of unending longing.
