We went to a museum about living in East Berlin. It wasn’t a great place to live and most people would have liked to leave. The most interesting part was the Trabant, a car made in the DDR. It was not what you would call luxurious – Keith’s favorite part was the fact that it […]
I wonder what happened in the last picture of the day. What was yesterday? Is it still yesterday? Flying east is truly a beast. Our Delta One experience was different. And by that, I mean different from one another. Keith’s main flight attendant, Sue, was terrific. He got exceptional service and loved it. My aisle

We had a slow-down checking in with our two tubas – not a tuba problem, but a computer issue. I felt so sorry for the workers, but it is Minnesota and we are a nice lot, so I heard no angries. We went to the Delta lounge. The food buffet was limited ( no, really.
We are leaving tomorrow, so today was packing day. I have been thinking about it, so it didn’t seem like much of a task to get everything ready. I love that I think that every time I have to pack a suitcase. I am delusional. 🙂 But really, today was not a big deal. I
Benjamin has four friends from junior high (or earlier) who have become our friends. We don’t see them often as they have all grown up, but it is delightful when we do. They and their families are the core of our 4th of July party. A few days before the 4th, one of them (there’s
Today’s picture of the day is obviously the cast photo for the upcoming Quiby series Pool’s Gold: Where’s Benjamin? They were filming in our backyard, doing some outdoor shots before moving back into the studio (this is all lies). In other news, we had a party, like we always do. People came. People brought food.

Mississippi River Brass Band played their first concert of 2022 this afternoon. It was an absolutely perfect day – a few clouds, low humidity, warm but not hot. I remembered to let Alexander know it was happening yesterday, when another band member’s wife said her family was coming from Eau Claire to hear the band

Late last night I heard from my sister that she and her family wouldn’t be coming today, because her son’s roommates tested positive and out of an abundance of caution for us before our trip, they are keeping their distance. COVID is crap. That was mentioned several times during the conversation. I was so disappointed.
After the pandemic started and we were in our house for some months, Keith started getting fluffy. Eventually, he suggested I cut his hair. We have a hair shaver/trimmer thing, because a gazillion years ago, I used to buzz his hair and the boys’ hair (Alexander pretty much went from a buzz cut to really
We went to see the play Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations tonight. It was terrific. The cast was absolutely outstanding. The singing and dancing was nearly non-stop; I can’t imagine anyone being fitter than that cast must be. The last show we saw was Moulin Rouge. We were very surprised
