Yes, let’s have this weather all year. I promised I wouldn’t spend all my time talking about weather. Yesterday I took my speedy bike, Redemption, out for a roll. So far this season, I’ve been taking short simple bike strolls, which are my low speed jaunts – and great fun, too, but it’s one of… Continue reading April 11, 2023

Next year will be another total eclipse! Book your trips now! (Seriously, I plan to go to see it in the place where total darkness will be achieved.) Yesterday was really nice, and I was able to enjoy it without an asterisk, like Saturday. On Friday, I had round three of my Dental Implant Adventure,… Continue reading April 10, 2023

Last night I introduced my wife to The Kids in the Hall. It was a success.

Apologies if you’ve been checking and finding my site down the last few days. Apparently there was some kind of problem. I never found out what, but it appears to be working again. Not much to report from the last few days. Last night I was energized by the thunderstorm energy in the air, but… Continue reading April 5, 2023

Please forgive my recent absence in posting – I’ve been down with the worst flu I’ve had since before the pandemic. Fortunately, this wasn’t Covid, I seem to have been lucky once again there. But the flu can still kick your ass. I was even vaccinated, but I’m assuming this was a different strain. Anyway,… Continue reading March 27, 2023

Thinking about an impromptu weekend getaway. I think I could use a change in scenery, if only for one night. Lincoln, Nebraska?

I stepped on up to the first day of spring yesterday – 61 degrees means I pull the top down on my Miata. I also bicycled a bit, just a neighborhood jaunt, but still enjoyable. A guy driving by shouted, “Stay safe out there, brother!” That was nice. I also had a conversation with a… Continue reading March 21, 2023

Happy first day of spring! I’m getting in on the ground floor! This weekend we saw a comedy show called “Bored Teachers” at Hoyt Sherman Place. It was entertaining, and I’ll take any excuse to go to that gorgeous auditorium. “Bored Teachers” consisted of stand-up comedians who are also school teachers, which was a unique… Continue reading March 20, 2023

Visited the newly-renovated Varsity Theater last night for the first time since the reinvention to see “65”. I liked it, which appears to put me in the “slim minority” category – the Internet seems to universally revile it. I guess I got what the filmmakers were going for – it was a sparse father-daughter survival… Continue reading March 17, 2023

Yesterday was the first day this year that I put the top down on the Miata! Just briefly, but I had taken a walk and was warmed up, plus it was about 58 degrees somewhere, so I put it down and took a spin through Windsor Heights. Who says I’m not spontaneous. There’s an article… Continue reading March 16, 2023
