Saturday, April 27, 2024 We went an entire month without going to a movie. There was not a minute that Keith wasn’t working (at work or on the bathroom while we were in Madison), so it makes sense. We went to the 11:30am showing of Ghostbusters and thoroughly enjoyed being in a theater and seeing […]

Friday, April 26, 20224 Our friend, Gary, celebrated his birthday again this year with a party and pick up band. What fun. His quintet played some of the time, so people could visit and eat, then everyone who wanted to join in joined in. Parties are great, aren’t they?

Thursday, April 25, 2024 These people can really sing. I mean reaaalllllly sing. Everyone was terrific. We were at Artistry theater in Bloomington. They had a bunch of financial troubles after pandemic, and I am so glad to see them back on their feet. We go with our friends, EB and Kathy, and it was

Wednesday, April 24, 2024 I always ask the kids a “random question that they cannot know the answer to” to win the treat of taking the attendance to the office. It gives me a little interaction with them, and they think they are winning something. I have to change the question every hour, because of

Tuesday, 4/23/24 If I had any idea how to spell the beginning cries of the Circle of Life, I would start this with that. But I don’t. We just got home from the show and it was terrific. We have seen it pretty many times and neither of us were particularly interested in going. That’s

Monday, April 22, 2024 The vet called about 10am and said Eggy’s kidney function had normalized and that he could come home. He is okay! The bill was staggering, but you have to pay what you have to pay, I guess. The POTD is not from today, but it my favorite picture of Oatmeal and

Sunday, April 21, 2024 When we got home last night, we assumed Sean and Benjamin were still at her parents’ house after dinner. We watched a little TV and went to bed. This morning, we found out that they had spent many, many hours at the emergency vet at the U of M because Eggs

Saturday, April 20, 2024 We went to the final Collide dance company show, Broadway, tonight. I am already looking forward to getting tickets for next season. I went to the celebration of life for my friend and co-worker, Lori, this afternoon. I went with my good friend, Maren, who works closely with Lori’s daughter. We

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.
