Saturday, April 25, 2026 We were at Collide theater a couple weeks ago and I noticed the guy next-to-me’s shoes. He showed them off and told them he has them in every color now. I checked them out online and we ordered some for Benjamin, because Benjamin likes shoes (and we like to buy things). […]

Friday, April 24, 2026 We called Benjamin from the car on our way to Hudson because we haven’t talked to him since before Japan. We asked him what was new and he said he had a new thing! He would have to send a picture. He and friend Elizabeth had invented a fabulous new way

Thursday, April 23, 2026 There is so much TV to catch up on after a vacation. Survivor was so good tonight! We are watching the most recent season of Shrinking and it is so good. It’s a good thing I am working this week, or I would just stay up all night watching TV –

Wednesday, April 22, 2026 I went to work in the media center at two elementary schools, and Keith went to the basement to finish his arrangement of the tune Good Night, Mister Johnny. It is his feature tune for the brass band tour in Belgium and Netherlands this summer. He finished it! Then I let

Tuesday, April 21, 2026 We took the red eye home, leaving just after 1am and getting home a few minutes before 6am. It’s amazing how many people are streaming into the airport at that time – like they think it is time to be up and doing something. We were asleep a few minutes before

Monday, April 20, 2026 We signed up for a bus trip to see the Hoover dam. Our host was Trez and he is a stand-up comedian. Though we just booked it through Viator, it was also presented by a comedy company. All tour guides should be comedians – it makes for a very funny time.

Sunday, April 19, 2026 We came to see the Wizard of Oz at the Sphere. The lobby was full of fun stuff. We enjoyed the movie so much. They separated the actors from the original backgrounds and remade all the backgrounds. Amazing! The tornado that practically swept us off of our feet was wonderful. The

Saturday, April 18, 2026 We got a great deal using frequent flyer miles for the ride, and used the end of the year’s time share points to come to see The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere. It was a (relatively) super short flight – under 3 hours. I cleverly watched Wicked:for good. Well, I

Friday, April 17, 2026 We got tickets for a Disney music concert by the Minnesota Orchestra months ago. It was scheduled to have video to go with the music, without it being “just” a soundtrack to a movie. It sounded really good. Then After Hours Big Band (that Keith plays in) got an opportunity to

Thursday, April 16, 2026 I was expecting to work at a school closer to my donation site, so I had to fly out of school in record time to make it to the YMCA to donate blood. I made it right on time. It turned out that I was the last person scheduled for the
