Late last night I heard from my sister that she and her family wouldn’t be coming today, because her son’s roommates tested positive and out of an abundance of caution for us before our trip, they are keeping their distance. COVID is crap. That was mentioned several times during the conversation. I was so disappointed. […]
After the pandemic started and we were in our house for some months, Keith started getting fluffy. Eventually, he suggested I cut his hair. We have a hair shaver/trimmer thing, because a gazillion years ago, I used to buzz his hair and the boys’ hair (Alexander pretty much went from a buzz cut to really
We went to see the play Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations tonight. It was terrific. The cast was absolutely outstanding. The singing and dancing was nearly non-stop; I can’t imagine anyone being fitter than that cast must be. The last show we saw was Moulin Rouge. We were very surprised
We finally got a chance to see Top Gun: Maverick tonight (called Topper Gun at our house, per Alexander.

My brother, Dave, came to our house the night before the BMW motorcycle rally started in St. Paul back in 2014 (I think). He and I Google Earth-ed the state fairgrounds (that seems like it should be capitalized, and maybe italized, the State Fair Grounds. Okay, maybe not) to figure out where he should pitch
You dress all in white, you bring all (ALL) your own stuff (food, chairs, sparklers, whatever you need), you wait until 6:30 to find out where the event is being held, then have a great time. Woohoo!
We sat down to eat lunch and I was facing the front door. I took one bite, and said, “Keith, there’s a guy in the front yard.” I say things like that (when there is a guy in the front yard) because I am not very interested in interacting with random people (front yard or
I am sooooo aware that there are so many things I don’t know. I absolutely love learning how much other people know. Keith has been suspicious that there is some kind of leak in the pool since last year. It had to be a small leak, since it continued to be questionable whether or not
