Back on Almanac tonight. Also happy to report the Danger Boat Productions Law Machine is still serving Twin Cities PBS staff and guests.

Paging Minnesota book lovers: I’m hosting the 37th annual Minnesota Book Awards! Join me at the Orday one week from tonight. Come celebrate the stories that connect us all!   thefriends.org/minnesota-book…

Literally everything is my fault.

Gotta get from my house in Minneapolis to downtown St. Paul for Almanac tonight. With the state of 94, do you think leaving at 3:40 gives me time to make it for 6PM rehearsal?

I am not Jearlyn Steele. But I did get to do the music into on Almanac. Check it out and listen to the legendary Charlie McGuire.

Did you know the Mayo Clinic has a minature therapy horse? His name is Munchkin. He visits patients and staff in the hospital to brighten their days. Off duty, he enjoys eating dandelions.

I hope people are equally shocked when I announce my retirement at 94. #WarrenBuffett

Worlds collide. I was able to get one of my colleagues from Mayo’s Center for Humanities in Medicine to appear with me on Almanac. Imagine having a performance like this in your hospital room! 😮

I listen to public radio pledge drives and think, “I would have so much fun with this.” 📻🃏

I was feeling so down today. But then I got to lead one of my improv workshops for healthcare professionals. The residents jumped into every exercise and made brilliant connections to good healthcare: listening, collaboration, empathy. I love teaching. Grateful I get to do this.

My husband Eric Roper is the new metro columnist for the The Minnesota Star Tribune! He’ll be writing about Twin Cities issues each week. I am very proud of him. 😊 Please check out his first column here. And remember in the future that his opinions are his own. 😉

We had so much fun with Tane Danger doing improv for our monthly wellbeing activity! So… much… fun! And a lot of great communication skills to bring back to our care teams and patients!

Rush hour in Richfield, MN. 🪿🐥

Good day to try out my new Jazz88 Jazz88 KBEM umbrella. #mnwx

I’m doing a lot of teaching these days. I’m using improv tools to help people learn to communicate and collaborate with each other differently. This week it was for public sector lawyers. Everybody always has fun. I always hope they have meaningful takeaways and lessons too.
