Okay, I’m actually on the sidewalk right now. I had one teensy-tiny conflict with the SSA Week Blogathon – I’m clinic escorting from 9:45am to 11am. I’m blogging from my phone right now between clients.
This would be a really great time to donate to the SSA and request a Travel Blog from me. I’ll be in downtown Minneapolis and available to travel after 11am. From my I Am Your Dancing Monkey post:
Tell me WHERE to blog! I like this one and hope someone makes use of it. My blog tagline is “Thoughts from the big cherry”, which is a reference to the Spoonbridge and Cherry at the Walker Art Center. I love my adopted city and I love exploring it. You pick the place and I will scramble to get there in between blog posts. Don’t know the area? Jump on Google Maps or search for “Minneapolis landmarks” or similar. Pick a place and I’ll get there.
So here’s how it works. Donate a minimum of $10 to SSA and in the “Topic Suggestion” box write “Visit” and a place that is a) in Minneapolis, b) can be found if I google it, and c) is easily accessible to the public. No residential or private addresses please. Businesses, landmarks, etc. are cool. I will blog from that spot and put up a photo of me on location. I can’t promise that I’ll make it everywhere during the blogathon, but if you submit a location suggestion, I will try. I’m going to cap “travel blogs” at six locations so I can do some actual writing instead of spending all of my time driving around. If I don’t make it to your spot during the blogathon, I will do a wrap up post of those locations that were missed and have it up within one week.
This is post 9 of 49 in the SSAweek Biodork Blogathon. Donate to the SSA today! Read more about my reader challenges here.

Well now you’ve done it: the mere reference to Spoonbridge made my heart twang for Minnesota. I lived in the Mpls area 1991-2007.
