We go through bouts of travel a couple of times a year. It’s nice to be other places.
Back soon!
I can see your house from up here.

Big Norfolk Weekend
Had occasion to catch the end-of-semester dance show at ODU. I’ve seen a lot of these over the years and they’re almost always a great time. College dance majors are on a different level.
And since we’re in baseball season, we hopped over to the ballpark to see the AAA Norfolk Tides take on the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Railriders. The Tides are apparently loaded, so we didn’t want to miss a game full of future major-leaguers.
Tulips are here.
It’s always exciting when these bulbs come up. They’re huge.
Big Eclipse Day
We had a pizza party here at work with Moon Pies, Sunkist, Starbursts, and Capri Suns.
The iPhone-through-eclipse-glasses photo didn’t come out so great.
Ducks Ltd. at Richmond Music Hall 4/2/2024
The Richmond Music Hall is a nice room for bands.
Ducks Ltd. is a new-ish band to me (thanks, CHope) and I’m glad I went out for the show on a Tuesday night.
The sound has lots of ringing guitars and I’d mention The Clean, Soft Pack, and maybe some XTC as points of reference (2 of those 3 bands are faves of mine).
Here’s to live music!
Power’s out, again.
We’re in a weak local infrastructure pocket, electricity-wise. Some big winds this afternoon knocked the power out, and it’s still out tonight.
They gave us a repair ETA window from 9pm to midnight, so there’s still some room for them to hit it.
The low-light mode on the camera does a nice job of accenting the clouds in the darkness. It doesn’t pick up the hum of the handful of folks that have generators, though, so you’ll just have to imagine those.
No dipped flakes, plz.
I don’t mind getting experimental with food, you win some and you lose some.
This chocolate-dipped flakes version of Special K goes firmly in the L column. No bueno.
I’m going back to the straight Red Berries next time.
Strawberry Cheesecake Special K
Adam and I have been having some fun cereal-based conversations on the podcast and I was excited to try out this Strawberry Cheesecake Special K, since it seemed like an outlier to the generally “healthy” image the Special K branding goes for.
Turns out, it’s boring as hell. And it makes the milk a gross pink.
Do not recommend.
