Sheepshead. \u00a0I had some good cards tonight, but mostly not. \u00a0Made some hands, missed \"leaf<\/a>others. \u00a0A streak here, but not one I’d prefer to continue.<\/p>\n

(This Sung dynasty tea bowl is one of my favorite objects in the MIA’s collection.)<\/p>\n

Came into St. Paul early and went over to the Tea Store on Cleveland. \u00a0It is near the theatre with Vina on one side and on the other the site of the place we rented videos when we lived on Edgcumbe Road.<\/p>\n

I was in search of a tea spoon. \u00a0No, really. \u00a0I wanted a measure for the chinese tea so I can become more regular in the amounts of tea I use. \u00a0They had that. \u00a0I also bought some puer tea, tea formed into a cake and chipped off with a puer knife, then steeped. \u00a0Seemed interesting and it’s a type of tea I’ve not tried. \u00a0I also picked up some more white tea, which I’ve come to enjoy.<\/p>\n

It was fun being back in the Highland neighborhood, a place I enjoyed living. \u00a0A lot of interesting shops, a great grocery store.<\/p>\n

Bill and I had supper at Pad Thai and shook our heads at the Tea Party. \u00a0We both find ideological blinders a poor way to run a political party and no way at all to run a government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
