Sunday, January 21, 2024 I went to see two of my 5th grade friends play basketball today. They are on the same team, so that is handy. I really, really enjoyed myself. People kept thanking me for coming – which is very nice – but not really necessary when I am doing something fun. I […]
Saturday, January 20, 2024 We were in Eau Claire for the chamber orchestra today. We cleverly got Erbert and Gerbert’s subs last night for our breakfast. I know, not the most obvious choice, but delicious. We had planned an early dinner, so we wanted to eat an early lunch, so we got two sandwiches last

Friday, January 19, 2924 When we first trained in Portugal, we were early and had plenty of time to walk around the station. There wasn’t much there, and we walked around a few blocks, and there wasn’t much there. We walked back to our platform and across the tracks I saw a small grocery store

Thursday, January 18, 2024 We went to see the touring Broadway show Funny Girl tonight. Keith had to dash out to cough in the restroom about 2 minutes after the show started, but then managed to see the rest of the first act. He was so whomped that we decided to come home at intermission.
Wednesday, January 17, 2024 Alexander texted last night to say he was going to pop over to exchange cars. His car had a battery issue a few weeks ago and Keith got it fixed, but he wanted to make sure that nothing happened while we were in Portugal, so Alexander still had our car. His

Tuesday, January 16, 2023 Keith wasn’t feeling great yesterday, so we sat and watched TV all day. It was pretty great. We binged the entire first season of The Bear, and started on season 2. It makes you want to cook, so I cooked dinner. Keith was sick in bed all day today, aching all
Monday, January 15, 2024 Keith is good at a lot of things. One thing that most people do not know he excels at is guessing the weight of pigs. Didn’t see that one coming, did you? But it’s true. It somehow came up in conversation before he ever demonstrated it in person – which makes
Sunday, January 14, 2024 The guidelines always say to be at the airport three hours before an international flight, so I thought if we were there almost two hours early, it would be good. We had a nice hotel breakfast 45 minutes before it was supposed to be set up and called an Uber. It

Saturday, January 13, 2024 I didn’t know anything about today’s tour, other than the places were pretty far from Lisbon. It’s kinda fun to just have the day unfold. Everything is interesting, afterall. Fátima is the site where three kids (Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco) saw apparitions of the Virgin Mary multiple times in 1917 (on

Friday, January 12, 2024 The pillows of Porto are very squishy. They are very large when plumped up, but when you lean on them (or sleep on them) they squish waaaay down. It’s kinda like an inflatable with a slow leak. They also do amazing things to my hair. The first night when I got
