Through April and May, I had a heckuva schedule for music performances. That's a technical term. It was pretty busy for two months, whether I was part of an ensemble or just attending the event ( Read more... )

This fog is making me think of a prior fog that is part of the updates I haven't written. Before the flashbacks begin, I have a few words about the baffling fog today. I blame Waverly. During my morning commute, the skies were clear until Waverly and the visibility was reduced the rest of the drive to Minnetonka. The afternoon commute was the ( Read more... )

What happens when I don't post frequently enough? I end up with summary entries or long detailed entries ( Read more... )

What a busy weekend. The activities were mostly relaxing, but getting from one to another was often rushed. The Witness Workshop at St. James started at 8:30 Saturday morning. Then I had to be at the Annandale Business Expo by 11 AM to play with the Annandale Community Band. The evening was spent with the Tri-County Singles making homemade ( Read more... )

Hollywood has returned to releasing desirable movies. I saw no movies in theaters in September and two movies in October. Yet November brought better titles and I attended three showings within a week. "Unstoppable" on Saturday, "Megamind" on Tuesday, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" (henceforth "HP 7.1") on Friday ( Read more... )
