They made me feel like a rock star today. The two people in front of me in line were told the wait was an hour. I told them who I was (a person with reservations) and they said “right this way.”
They even elevate something as simple as toast to an entirely different level.
Sunday Brunch
I think Hell’s Kitchen is still my favorite place to eat breakfast in the Twin Cities.

Fourth of July
Julie recently wrote about Independence Day. I’ll quote my favorite passage below, although you really should go read the whole thing.
“As I watch the parade each year, I am also grateful for our country. I know that we are who we are because of the land where we live. I know this in a personal sense, as a mother of children who have a rich heritage, as a wife happy her husband’s family made it here, as a woman enjoying the opportunities and freedom she would not have in other nations. And I also know this in a larger sense, for the island, for this piece of land in the Pacific Ocean with its tragic past and transforming present. We are who we are because of the land where we live.”
Julie Leung, Why I like the Fourth of July
That phrase — “tragic past and transforming present” is a really wonderful expression. Reading that phrase out loud helps quiet my temporary discomfort and malcontentedness with life, the universe and everything. It’s the kind of phrase that actually renews hope and faith in me, especially in the light of the recent tragedy in London.

Whispered in my ear
I’ve been leaving for work early and coming home late more than I like to think about. Elise is a light sleeper and often catches me looking in on her on my way out.
On Wednesday she caught me as usual and wanted a hug. While she hugged me she kept whispering in my ear “I’ll never let you go … I’ll never let you go …” It’s the most wonderful thing I heard all week.
I think it’s what we all want to hear from someone.
