We finally got a chance to see Top Gun: Maverick tonight (called Topper Gun at our house, per Alexander. Speaking of comparatives, did you know there is an actor named Tom Holland, and an actor named Tom Hollander? It seems entirely reasonable that there is an actor named Tom Hollandest out there somewhere). Everyone we […]

Did you ever see the movie Sliding Doors? It stars Gwyneth Paltrow (not my favorite, probably because Pepper Potts is so whiney and is always telling Tony not to save the world, but instead take out the garbage or something like that. Also, I was really sure she was going to get Shakespeare killed or

Now the pool lights up. The man came today and installed the new light. The old light kinda filled with water, and sorta worked some times, so this is definitely an upgrade. It has a bunch of colors, but all of the blues beat any of the rest of the colors, because blue = pool.

My brother, Dave, came to our house the night before the BMW motorcycle rally started in St. Paul back in 2014 (I think). He and I Google Earth-ed the state fairgrounds (that seems like it should be capitalized, and maybe italized, the State Fair Grounds. Okay, maybe not) to figure out where he should pitch

You dress all in white, you bring all (ALL) your own stuff (food, chairs, sparklers, whatever you need), you wait until 6:30 to find out where the event is being held, then have a great time. Woohoo!

I am sooooo aware that there are so many things I don’t know. I absolutely love learning how much other people know. Keith has been suspicious that there is some kind of leak in the pool since last year. It had to be a small leak, since it continued to be questionable whether or not

We were heading home today, but not before we stopped over to John’s for lunch. My brother and sister ordered wimpy little medium sized root beers. Keith and I ordered large mugs. The very friendly worker told us that they didn’t have large mugs (I was thinking…but I always have a giant mug) because the

About a week ago, I randomly thought, “I wonder if Josh Groban is touring this year.” I looked it up and it said he was in Milwaukee June 21 and tickets were $30. What? We investigated. He was performing at the amphitheater at the Summerfest grounds, and there were indeed tickets as cheap as $30.

Milwaukee is the frozen custard capital of the world. Frozen custard is made like ice cream, but everything I have read says frozen custard includes eggs yolks whereas ice cream doesn’t. I have a hard time believing a couple egg yolks makes all the difference. Frozen custard is soooo much better than ice cream. I
