Thursday, March 27, 2025 It was a beautiful, warm evening in downtown St. Paul tonight as we walked to the History Theater to see Secret Warriors. It is just so pleasant to walk outside without giving any consideration to the weather. Secret Warriors was about Japanese American soldiers who served as translators and interpreters during
Wednesday, March 26, 2025 Keith’s Metro Brass concert is coming up in two days! Eight family members are coming from Wisconsin, so we went grocery shopping in advance. We are excited and ready!
Tuesday, March 25, 2025 Keith got a call a bit ago to sub with Star of the North Jazz Orchestra at Beast BBQ in Minneapolis. It just seems like a great idea to play some big band and eat BBQ, doesn’t it?

Saturday, March 22, 2025 We went to Open Window Theater tonight to see the play Tolkien. I was struck with the similarities between it and last night’s play.

Wednesday, March 19, 2025 We left to go see the Captain America movie without Captain America (I thought it was pretty good – I think they did a good job of remaking Captain America into a whole different guy. One wonders why they needed to, but since they were, they did fine) and we saw
