I haven't been here for a while - life has been hectic. I plan to redo/move/change my blog in the near future; I've found that I do enjoy it...maybe it's vanity, maybe just easy access when I don't have time to take pen to paper, which is my preference for 'journaling'. There's one....the 'verbing' of a noun and then putting quotes around it to demonstrate I know I'm doing it, slightly disapprove, yet rather like it.
My apartment was on the weekend's Mpls/St. Paul/Dayton's Bluff house tour. I'm exhausted and aching with having power-cleaned and crammed 'stuff' into hidden nooks and crannies; there's only so much storage in any apartment, though mine is rather large by urban standards. Over 100 people came through on each day to see the architectural details of the 1888 Victorian. At least, thanks to LibraryThing.com, my books are always in order! There would be six people standing in my bathroom and I would suddenly notice a spot on the tile I had missed...details!
I tend to be a bit of a slob when home alone. My son is visiting with his partner at the end of May and somehow I have to maintain the neatness - for a whole MONTH until they arrive!
Sam manages a restaurant in NYC and is vegetarian (does now eat fish). I had taken him to Vincent's (excellent in every way) and Ethiopian in the past and need some new suggestions on other restaurants in either Saint Paul or Mpls. Yes to University Avenue's great ethnic selections.
Let me know of any favorites, please.

About Me
- sage (can be reached at: uppelto@gmail.com)
- My colleagues likely, but incorrectly, think I’m passionate about politics. Though I’m very active in a political party, I see politics as a vehicle to achieve social justice. My passion is people and community activism: connecting people, especially disenfranchised, with resources and knowledge. I work to involve people in the political and community process, starting at the grassroots level. This is where ordinary people become extraordinary decision-makers and grasp the power to change their lives and the lives of those around them. What truly defines me is how I treat people. It’s so difficult to keep balanced in the daily craziness. If I hold any power, knowledge, or authority and don’t use it to intercede for others, then I have neglected my personal responsibility. I cherish the many dear friendships I’ve made in at least 43 moves in my life. Their kindnesses, love, conversations and challenges have added great depth to my life. I’ve been especially blessed with those quirky, forgiving friendships of women friends.
