Monday, March 23, 2026 We are about to get on the plane, and it will be tomorrow when we get off, so I better post now. Visiting Japan is a top of the bucket list thing for me. I’ve always thought if I got a terminal diagnosis I’d get on a plane to Japan first, […]
Sunday, March 22. 2026 I forgot Carla’s birthday. Friday night I wrote March 20 and thought, “Keith’s mom’s birthday is tomorrow.” Then my brain made some lumpy sounds. 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

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
Thursday, March 19. 2026 There was a place in the Maplewood Mall called Da Bin (Daa Bin?)

Monday, March 16, 2026 I saw a Kickstarter for an end table that makes pictures automatically with a marble in sand. I thought Keith would like it. I told Benjamin to order it for me so it would be super-secret. Delivery time was a mystery, but hopefully it would come for Christmas. It didn’t. They
Sunday, March 15, 2026 They have been forecasting snowmaggedon all week. We were supposed to get 1-2 feet of snow. Big winds. Don’t go outside. It was supposed to start at 5pm yesterday and last until 4am Monday. It started. It stopped. It started. It stopped. The wind blew, then it didn’t. Some places got
Saturday, March 14, 2026 We had amazing sandwiches from Alleycat’s Gourmet Sandwiches in White Bear Lake before seeing the Lakeshore Players’ Oscar Wilde play this afternoon. Neither of us had ever seen it before, although it is very famous. The first act is short and really just a lot of exposition – it does make
