Thanksgiving day, Pies!

After the usual turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, Brussels sprouts, cranberry sauce, rolls, etc., our host had, not one, not two, not…[ok, we get the idea], but five, count them five different deserts from a (wonderful) desert place called Wouletts.

Going to see Holst’s Planets – NOT!

Had a pretty tough decision to make this past week. Couldn’t decide, so no decision was made. The quandary was, which night should I go see MN Orchestra, playing Holst’s Planets, Fri evening or Saturday evening? Didn’t want to “stay” at the office for 2-3 hours waiting until the 8pm performance, so after I left […]
