Friday, April 19, 2024 We went to see Mandy at the Ordway tonight. What a show! I don’t have any idea how to describe it – he sang a lot (very memorably Bohemian Rhapsody done as a classical song. It was simultaneously hilarious and beautiful) and he talked a lot (sooooo much funny). There were […]
Thursday, April 19, 2024 I got the Wordle on my first guess today. YAY! I told a bunch of the kids at school – not because it takes any skill whatsoever to randomly guess the word on your first try, but because everyone celebrated. Everyone was excited. Such happiness from such a tiny moment. Win.

Wednesday, April 17, 2024 The potd came to me via Benjamin whose friend British Dave came across some piggy families while driving in the UK. Benjamin said he would like a piggy. I said two, for friends. Obviously. We went to see “A Tribute to John Denver” tonight at Lyric Arts. I loved every second

Tuesday, April 16, 2024 Aren’t they great? Crocs has made them sporadically in children’s sizes for several years, but just finally figured out that there are adults (or big footed children) who like Lightning McQueen, too. The title of today’s post is a quote from a movie that I use often – it has a

Monday, April 15, 2024 I decided Keith deserved a steak dinner after all of his hard work lately, so we went to Wiederholt’s Supper Club on the way to brass band tonight. Delicious. I went to work (math at a school I don’t go to often) buoyed by Friday’s success, but keeping reality in mind.

Sunday, April 14, 2024 The big band Keith plays in, After Hours Big Band, played a shared concert with the Encore Wind Ensemble today. Their special guest was Chuck Lazarus, a trumpet player from the MN orchestra. The theme was jazz and classical music mixed together, or something like that. The Encore band really sounded

Saturday, April 13, 2024 I picked up some [day old] bread from Milios sandwich shop on Thursday before we left Madison. Benjamin mentioned that it makes a great po’ boy sandwich. We were going to make them for dinner last night, but then a nap got in the way. We made shrimp po’ boys and

Friday, April 12, 2024 We had tickets to see the play Jeeves in Bloom at the Phipps tonight. Music friends were sitting right in front of us, so that was an extra treat. The show was silly, but the main characters were done so beautifully you couldn’t help but laugh at all the right places.
Thursday, April 11, 2024 When we left home 20 days ago, we thought we might go along to the eclipse, then come home Wednesday (yesterday). We did NOT think we would be frantically installing the shower doors with incorrect instructions and piling everything in the car right up until the moment we needed to leave
Wednesday, April 10, 2024 We thought we’d be on the road home today. We are so silly. The shower valve was 1/16″ too short because of thick tile. It needed an extender from the plumbing store. The plumbing store was in a giant building without labels on doors. Eventually Keith found someone to take him
