George Floyd was killed on 5/25/2020. Since his death, there have been multiple protests about the way police have treated people. Today, there is a planned protest near my house.

We’ve finished the third full month of COVID-19 in the US. We’ve done a decent job of keeping socially distant, but sometimes Corvin and I just need to get out. So we go on unicycle rides! We went out to Jo Jo’s place near the St. Francis river to help her dismantle an old barn. … Continue reading “May 2020”
With Covid-19 in full swing, we have not seen much of our family. Mark had his birthday and the idea was to do a drive by birthday. We offered to hang out for the hour outside and help entertain Mark. To assist with this, Hogan the T-Rex came by. Its always important to get in … Continue reading “Mark’s Birthday – 5/30/2020”

I’ve written lots of times about the Sunset Race. As much as the river surprises me every time, the people that come out and paddle truly make it what it is. As always, spend time with Danelle is first. And being on the river is even better. Jon Marble is up ahead. Back on shore … Continue reading “Sunset Race – 5/14/2020”

Our first full month of COVID-19. We mostly stayed at home trying to stay safe and not catch it. I brought home the plants from the office that I care for. The cats were quite interested in them.
