You can tell that I really love Anime! In fact, I have been a fan of Japanese
animation since I was a child. I hope
that I can attend the next Anime Detour that will be held from April 2nd to April
4th 2021 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Minneapolis.

Two cultural artifacts of the Coronavirus Pandemic
These two posters on green paper, put on the King Manor
Fifth Floor bulletin board, were posted here in March. Yet, no one has taken these posters down,
while nearly all Rainbow Community Center events have been postponed for the foreseeable
future. I think this is the first time I’ve
ever written the word “foreseeable”.

At King Manor, the west elevator has been out of service for at least six weeks.
Frank told me that HRA management is considering
installing new elevators. I hope that HRA
managers do something soon, because if the east elevator breaks down, many mobility
impaired residents will be unable to leave floors three, four, and five.

I found the public art installation "Unweaving" in the Sister Cities Park in Duluth.
Created
by Minnesota artist Tia Keobounpheng, these artworks tells the stories of the
unweaving of communities, cultures, and traditions. At the same time the artworks describes how
each twenty-first century individual has become disconnected from our inherited
history. The artworks will be on exhibit
in the park until the end of October.

This is my Father’s favorite stories about me as a child, Part Two.
Once, one of my Father’s friends lit up a cigarette.
I walked up to him and then asked, “Do you know what those
things can do to you?”
My Father’s friend quickly snuffed out his cigarette.

This is my Father’s favorite stories about me as a child, Part One.
Once, one of my Father’s friends asked me if I had any brothers.
I replied by saying, “Yes, I have two brothers”.
My Father’s friend asked me what their names are.
I replied by saying, “Icky and Snake”.
Then my Father’s friend asked me what my name is.
I said “My name is Crackers”.

all the way into the lives of King Manor residents.
