Sunday, January 28, 20234 We enjoyed the musical stylings of Jen Burleigh-Bentz at the Phipps today. She used to be married to a guy in Keith’s big band and she sang with that band a number of times. She was in Mama Mia on Broadway a while ago (understudy the lead women and chorus). So, […]

Saturday, January 27, 2024 Our cold snap is over and it feels like spring. The little snow we had is melting quickly, so we thought we would be bold and take down our Christmas tree. Yep. We put away Christmas decorations today – one month and two days after the holiday. I usually undecorate on

Friday, January 26, 2024 I have been trying to be very selective about which sub jobs I pick up. I am going to elementary school more often, and boldly choosing to be a classroom teacher sometimes. It wasn’t so long ago that the thought of that would have kept me up at night, but now
Thursday, January 25, 2024 Our early bird is not a senior citizen. He’s 30. Alexander likes to come home from work and have dinner, because he is a minimalist for lunch. We met at the mall at 4:30 to have dinner at Bubba Gumps – and remembered the gift cards this year. Keith usually has

Sunday, January 21, 2024 I went to see two of my 5th grade friends play basketball today. They are on the same team, so that is handy. I really, really enjoyed myself. People kept thanking me for coming – which is very nice – but not really necessary when I am doing something fun. I
Saturday, January 20, 2024 We were in Eau Claire for the chamber orchestra today. We cleverly got Erbert and Gerbert’s subs last night for our breakfast. I know, not the most obvious choice, but delicious. We had planned an early dinner, so we wanted to eat an early lunch, so we got two sandwiches last

Friday, January 19, 2924 When we first trained in Portugal, we were early and had plenty of time to walk around the station. There wasn’t much there, and we walked around a few blocks, and there wasn’t much there. We walked back to our platform and across the tracks I saw a small grocery store
