Saturday, January 25, 2025 We were making a list of what we needed to get done today while Keith was cooking his breakfast (air frying two pastel de nata and making soda stream Mt. Dew) (not quite John Belushi’s original breakfast of champions, but so close). He was ready to eat when he said, “Do […]

Friday, January, 24, 2025 I really enjoyed tonight’s play. The Root Beer Lady is at the History Theater for the next few weeks. It is a one woman show about Dorothy Molter, an independent soul who lived (primarily) alone on a 10-acre island in the very far north of Minnesota in what is now the

Thursday, January 23, 2025 And it was a musical! We went to see Parade tonight at the Orpheum. It was part of the series, and I had not given it any thought prior to waking up at 4am and not being able to get back to sleep. I assumed it was about a parade. I

Wednesday, January 22, 2025 The trial started and ended. The jury listened to testimony from three witnesses. They heard the 911 call. They saw the photos. They went to deliberate. Keith was thinking not guilty at that point – especially since the jury had been instructed to understand that the defendant did not have to
Tuesday, January 21, 2025 Can you imagine me on a jury? I’d worry about it for the rest of my life. It’s a good thing it was Keith who was called. He spent the morning waiting after being given instructions. He texted me at the lunch break, wondering if he should drive 30 minutes home,
Monday, January 20, 2025 Alexander sent this picture with the caption “Apply kitty directly to face”. Seems like a great way to help stay warm. Keith and I had the day of for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. We agreed that we would not leave the house, because it was -30 degrees with the wind
Sunday, January 19, 2025 Did you know the Andrews Sisters were from Minneapolis? I did not. It is very interesting to me that I didn’t know, because MN is usually very proud of their native sons and daughters and let everyone know as often as possible. The show we went to at the Phipps today

Saturday, January 18, 2025 I went to Keith’s chamber orchestra Friends and Family concert this afternoon. It used to be called the Young People’s concert or something like that, but they welcome everyone, so there you go. There is no cost for kids, so it is still very kid friendly (also only 50 minutes long).
Friday, January 17, 2025 I told my fourth-grade class in media today that Mrs. Simons was home not feeling well. Someone asked if she would be there tomorrow. There was a roar that tomorrow is Saturday, no one would be there. The girl shrugged and said, “I might be here.” Well played. No one likes
Thursday, January 16, 2025 I was driving home from work today and I saw diggers in the pond/swamp down the street and around the corner. What? Why? I stopped and looked. The diggers are sitting on the frozen pond/swamp, having evidently already dug up a bunch of dirt. I am not usually a very curious
