Small Project Monday The magnolias are blooming, so it was a great day to get some yard work done at Summit, trying to prep for a summer full of fun events! We g...

I keep on having to reschedule or scale back Small Project Sundays because there's so much going on. This time it was especially worth it!

Kissing Eric Stoltz in 1989.

Scene.

36 Hours of Art! Yesterday and today I've been to several very different art events! It started out yesterday by hearing SPA's choirs sing on their mini-tour...

Lots of art, and you can see it too!

The Music That Made Me It's been quite a week for seeing some of my favorite artists, whose music was seminal to my development but who I last saw live when I look...

Some great music this week! prologuist.blogspot.com/2026/04/the-...

As the Kids Say, "Fit Check" If you know me, you will know that about 99.9% of my wardrobe comes from clothing exchanges. This means that, though I love my clothes, very...

Coming down in the morning to find my dog having not magically resurrected is still The Worst.

Does anyone else think that at night the Fish Doorbell screen looks like Alf?

The Fish Doorbell cam feed is glitching and it's making me sad.

Had a great dinner tonight with one of the Twin Cities social media OGs. That was a time, y'all.

Anyone finding it hard to concentrate today?

A Different Kind of Easter We're not exactly church types. But we celebrated today with some Easter baskets anyway, and then went to see the llamas at Forgotten Star B...

Our Easter might be different than yours. But it still involves chocolate eggs.

Small Project Saturday - Yes, a Day Early Though we're not exactly religious, it's Easter tomorrow, so we did Small Project SATURDAY instead of SUNDAY. The focus was on the dining ro...

A little early for Small Project Day: prologuist.blogspot.com/2026/04/smal...

It's Ernie's 1 year "Gotcha-versary," so we made him a puppachino!

Small Project Sunday - Divide and Conquer We both had a lot of things going on today, so chose to divide and conquer for our Small Project Sunday. Patrick fixed the windshield wipers...

When you have a lot to do, you divide up the work:

Ending in Athens (So I'm a little behind, but in general I have been impressed by how I have kept up) We woke up Wednesday and walked over for some coffee wh...

The end of the Greece trip:

A 40 minute delay due to “fueling” seems like piss poor planning to me. Also, gate E21 is the depths of despair at Schipol and the audio all sounds like the Upside Down.

Travel Days Yesterday and today were travel days. We said goodbye to Skiathos, which has my heart.  One last view from the balcony, walking down the por...

Travel Days: prologuist.blogspot.com/2026/03/trav...

Mamma Mia! For those who don't know, the entire impetus for this trip has been Beatrix's obsession with one movie... Thus, the places we had to go to w...

Mamma Mia! prologuist.blogspot.com/2026/03/mamm...

Layover Day When I used to canoe camp, we would always schedule in at least one day a trip to rest, catch up, and just be. Skiathos, in the off-season, ...

Ferry to Skiathos This morning we took the ferry from Volos to Skiathos, one of the two island settings for Mama Mia , and a big impetus for the trip. I saw d...

I'm on an island! prologuist.blogspot.com/2026/03/ferr...

I Had Some Questions for the Oracle So, after a delicious hotel breakfast (we highly recommend the Phillipo!), we headed off to Delphi. The Acropolis was awe-inspiring, majesti...

I went to see an Oracle about A Thing: prologuist.blogspot.com/2026/03/i-ha...

We Made It to Athens! After a half-full flight (it was like flying in the 90s! I got a whole row to myself!), we arrived in Athens this morning and managed to g...

Athens: prologuist.blogspot.com/2026/03/we-m...

Half empty flight, 2 glasses of wine, my family, a good meal, a movie I’ve been dying to see, on the way to Athens. Perfection.

DIY Airport Lounge We don't have fancy enough credit cards to have airport lounge access (or more to the point I'm not willing to spend the money on annual f...

Me: There's a lot of red at these Academy Awards.
Patrick: Handmaids.

I am HERE for the shade being thrown at TiCham at these Oscars...

Has there actually been a week since printing was moved out of state that the paper has made it here all 7 days?

Hot tip for restaurants- give Nord than one drink menu when you seat people! Then everyone is not held up from ordering drinks while one person. Peruses the hand-crafted cocktails…

Coya Our amazing Coya passed today at a little over 15 years of age. Thanks so much to the amazing staff at the Animal Humane Society who helped ...

Goodbye to our gentle and amazing Coya.
