* Musing on what makes Minnesota great. I had a brief, but engaging, conversation on Wednesday with a couple of women from my writing group on what we think defines Minnesota creativity. All states produce writers, musicians, film makers, etc., but Minnesota’s creatives have a unique stamp. I think I’ve started to define it: it’s dark, but honest and real. I hope to develop an essay that explores this in more depth.
* Puppy pictures! A new Northwind whippets litter was born on May 12 (Northwind is where we got Kahlil and Nina). Look at these little guys and girls!
* “Frida Kahlo is Having a Moment,” New York Times. Everyone can agree that Frida Kahlo has had an enduring legacy. This article tries to explain that magic. Kahlo even appeared in one of my essays, “Bello Rostra de la Muerte.” It remains one of my favorites.
If You Have Five Seconds to Spare 
Awesome essay! Didn’t I go with you to that Kahlo exhibit? I have a t-shirt that says, “Cerrado Los Lunes,” or “Closed on Mondays,” on front with the museum and the Kahlo exhibit printed on the back.
CUTE puppies!!
you probably remember that i was intrigued by Kahlo in high school, and even had a couple pictures of her on my bedroom wall.
and of course puppies…
