Thursday, October 12, 2023 We went to see the musical with Bob Dylan music tonight. I didn’t think I knew much Bob Dylan music and I was right. I was familiar with one of the songs in the show. I guess it is better described as a play with music. I didn’t notice until the […]

Wednesday, October 11, 2023 As I drove home from work today, the sun was shining so beautifully it was hard to believe it is October. The leaves really haven’t done much yet – I think they are just staying green until they fall off. Keith was really busy working on a work that has to

Tuesday, October 10, 2023 Sometimes I just make myself laugh. I picked up a sub job at high school for a Tech Ed position. I thought that meant computers because computers are tech. So wrong. I was subbing for what I would have called Industrial Ed – shop class. My first three hours were woodworking

Thursday, October 5, 2023 My friend, Maren, brought me flowers and presents last night because I was sad. Wow. I was feeling pretty special and spoiled after that. Today I was doing math in middle school. During a couple hours, I was proctoring a test. Here’s how it went: What should I do here?What do
Wednesday, October 4, 2023 Keith was subbing in the Swing Beat Big Band tonight. They are a swing dance band and they were playing at the VFW in Bloomington for the first time. The crowd was appreciative and clapped enthusiastically, but not one person danced the entire evening. Huh. I’m very curious if they will
Tuesday, October 3, 2023 The backyard gatherings have been absolutely terrific this summer. To celebrate that and to end the weekly gatherings until next year, today there was a hot dog and s’more roast. I was sitting back from the circle (avoiding the rotating smoke that liked to follow me) with my friend and he
