December 18, 2024 I was driving home from work and there was a … a something on the street in front of me. It was just a couple streets from home, in my neighborhood. I slowed down to go around, and gawked to the best of my ability to try to identify it. It was […]

Tuesday, December 17, 2024 Keith had a gig tonight playing Christmas music at Beast BBQ with the Star of the North Jazz Orchestra. I asked what he had to wear and he said something festive. I said he should wear his red Mickey Mouse holiday sweater. He did not remember he had a Mickey Mouse

Monday, December 16, 2024 We went out and did a bit of in person shopping tonight. It was fun. On the way home, we passed this light display. We had to go around the block to see it again and take a picture for you. The lights are on suspended strings and the picture alternates

Sunday, December 15, 2024 I woke up early. I read. I went back to sleep. I read. I got up and made pancakes. I read. I went back to sleep. I read. Keith finished arranging the music for How to Train Your Dragon for Metro Brass. We had spaghetti and watched a Christmas movie. This

Tuesday, December 10, 2024 I saw Santa today. He was getting into an elevator. It was pretty exciting, to be honest. It’s kinda like seeing Mickey Mouse when he is walking from one place to another at Disney World. You think you are going to be cool about it, but you’re not. I was visiting

Monday, December 9, 2024 Today I subbed for a special ed teacher who team teaches one hour with the math teacher I subbed for Friday. I’m in that class today, and the regular teacher is talking about the assignment from Friday, and what they need to have shown for work before they can turn it
