This time we went to see Robyn Hitchcock, plus we lucked into a nice dinner. And a recipe for May. We left at a leisurely pace on Friday morning. The train was delayed but we didn’t mind too much except the bagel place where we thought we’d get breakfast/lunch closes at 2:00. We dropped our … [Read more…]
My knee was doing so well – I had had a few days with really no pain at all. On the 7th, I got the OK to walk for longer than 15 minutes, and the physical therapist suggested I get some over the counter (OTC) orthotics since my custom ones don’t come till November 2 … [Read more…]
On Wednesday Susan and I drove to Milwaukee in a cold rain and rush hour traffic to see Robyn Hitchcock, a show that had been postponed since 2020. Susan had to drive back after the show – well, we switched at Hartland – because I couldn’t see well enough in the rain. Here’s the setlist. … [Read more…]
I took Friday off to get an extra long weekend for Memorial Day, and have been doing pretty good at not working, although I did check email everyday, and did reply to few messages on Friday and today (Sunday). Saturday we had friends over for a driveway cookout. I kept thinking there were going to … [Read more…]
Sometimes negative is positive. Like Saturday morning when I got my most recent Covid test results back as negative – that’s good because it means I don’t have the virus, even after working the election almost 2 weeks ago. I waited to give it time to incubate. Sometimes positive is negative. Like this whole election … [Read more…]
On Wednesday I went to Chicago to see Robyn Hitchcock. I took the bus both ways, left at 1:00 Wednesday and was back in Madison by 12:30 Thursday so it was a quick trip. Fun though. Robyn had an electric band with him, so I was hoping for more Soft Boys and Egyptians tunes, and … [Read more…]
Or, I don’t think I’m ever going to catch up. Mark’s brother and sister-in-law came to visit the weekend before last, and then by a fluke we also got Mark’s nephew, his wife, and their two kids who are 8 and 13, for an overnight. They were all on their way to the U.S. Open … [Read more…]
So let’s see – we got back from Seattle last Tuesday, and Belana and I took a cab home, dropped our bags, and went to see Infinity Baby at the film fest. The first third was pretty funny, then it got a little too weird. We ate peanut butter sandwiches during the movie that we … [Read more…]
We (me and our AFS student) came down last night to see Robyn Hitchcock at City Winery. Kind of a fun place – definitely it’s set up to keep the customers well-fed and wined. It’s shared tables of 6 – 8, full dinner before the show, and they’ll keep bringing you drinks and snacks throughout. … [Read more…]
Or I feel like one, anyways. Thursday, the night of the first Bowie tribute in NYC, I came home from work feeling too lazy to cook dinner, and ate Chinese leftovers, and if the time stamp on the picture is anywhere near close, before 6:00 PM – so Midwest/small town. On Friday, the day of … [Read more…]
