My observations. This is a huge group of percussionists for that age group. I don’t think we had more than a couple of drummers at Wheat Elementary. Lots of percussion equipment – I dont think we had that much, even at the SR HS level. I’m glad this district has the money for these instruments, […]

Kinky Boots in town
Went to the Orpheum Theater this afternoon to see the musical “Kinky Boots”. Loved the absolutely hilarious movie a few yrs ago, and decided to see this – I’d forgotten the show was a musical, and thought it was just a play (silly me). Anyway, while it was just “ok” in the beginning, by the […]
New music: Post Modern Jukebox
New music “Post Modern Jukebox” (opens in a new window) Since you “liked” this, I wanted to share with you that this is my new fav group, having seen a different video of theirs recently (“All about that bass”). I’ve subsequently bought one of their “albums” on iTunes called “Historical misappropriations”. Great music.
Unisys Plant 8 (Defense Building) torn down
Twice now in the past couple of weeks, I’ve been in the Eagan area, driving either on Pilot Knob or Yankee Doodle, and been caught unawares by a huge empty space/field, where the Unisys Defense (“Paramax/Lockheed Martin”) building stood for 30 or more years. Even though I worked in the Unisys MACS building “right next […]

Do a project together – did you […]
Raising kids – funny video
Raising kids video (opens in new window) This was me (clueless), until 3 yrs ago. I’m still somewhat clueless, but I have a much better understanding now than I did before Lailah.
Big B’s birthday thoughts
There are times when words do not escape me, and other times when I’m so overwhelmed that I cannot find the right words to express my feelings. This is NOT one of those times. I am so very grateful to all of my former HS friends, my former Unisys, WF, and USPS colleagues/friends, my family […]
Lailah and her antics
Had my little girl this afternoon for a couple of hours – the little stinker took a paint brush (with a load of blue paint) and painted my camera lens! [Video at 11.] LOL [fortunately, this was on my point&shoot, not the “better” camera). it’s not like she didn’t warn me. I’ve recently have had […]
