Kyoto

Sunday, March 29, 2026 I woke up at 4am and had to check on the No Kings rallies happening at home. I had a picture from Donna of Nancy and pictures from friend Jean. Friend Cheryl had listed some things she heard that she really liked. I liked them too. We are all connected. None […]

Hiroshima

Friday, March 27, 2026 We all went to 7-11 for breakfast. It was a definite upgrade from eating in the hotel restaurant. We shared a chicken cutlet sandwich, grapes, and each had our new favorite, a souffle with whipped cream and custard (think a really good homemade twinkie).

It banged around a little bit, not accepting the thoughts that were swirling. Mmm. LaVon on March 21. Carla on March 19. No, Carla can’t be March

The Giver

Friday, March 20, 2026 We went to Open Window’s production of The Giver tonight. The book is a middle school staple. The play very closely follows the book. It had some really excellent set pieces that allowed for shadows to appear as ideas are talked about by the characters. The utilitarian set had projections…um…projected to
