Saturday, February 8, 2025 We arrived at Las Vegas airport at about 12:30am this morning. Given the time zone shift, it was 2:30am for us. We Ubered to our Days Inn and sat around looking at our phones and reading flyers I picked up in the lobby. It was close to 2 local time when […]

Friday, February 7, 2025 I’M A HURKLE-DURKLE-ER!!! You learn things about yourself every day.

Thursday, February 6, 2025 It was an extremely buster day in MN – 17 degrees and WINDY. I worked on packing for our trip to Las Vegas tomorrow. It’s trickier packing for medium weather – highs in the low 60s and low 50s, 40 overnight. But sunny… It makes me think a lot. And then,

Saturday, February 1, 2025 The sisters and Michael came last night for my pre-birthday weekend. YAY! We had a nice slow morning. Keith left for rehearsal before 8am. Michael went to the Woodbury Cafe for an outrageously expensive breakfast. Nancy and Donna experimented with coffee. I slept late. Then we chatted and laughed the day

Friday, January 31, 2025 We see a lot of shows and I usually love them. Tonight was a bit iffy. We went to Lyric Arts in Anoka to see A Taste of Things to Come. The first act was set in 1957 at a meeting of the Winnetka Wednesday Women’s cooking club. Four young friends

Thursday, January 30, 2025 I have never seen the movie Misery. When I saw that one of the theaters we like was performing the play, I made sure to get tickets. There was a disclaimer in the lobby telling people that there were adult themes, violence, murder, gore and whatnot. I was not surprised (except
