I purchased tickets from CineConcerts to see the St. Louis Symphony play “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”. The jest of this is that the movie is played on a large screen while the orchestra plays the musical score of the movie live in front of us. We also took Danelle’s parents with … Continue reading “Harry Potter at the Symphony – 4/14/2019”
Our normal monthly paddle on the Meramec river. Some photos of our fun. Andy playing Humpty Dumpty. This time he didn’t fall or break, but he also didn’t have time to paddle. Still awesome that he came out to see us! Bernie Arnold brought me a boat to borrow. We paddled for a bit, but … Continue reading “125th Sunset Race”

We had a few ideas of what we wanted to see. During the drive, Danelle used the Internet on her … Continue reading “Memphis Weekend – 3/16/2019”
Henry postponed moving into his new house twice for weather and this was the last straw. He was moving on Sunday cause he had the day off and some friends lined up. I was invited, but across the state. On a whim, I decided the weather stunk in St. Louis and decided to help Henry … Continue reading “Helping Henry Move – 3/2/2019”

Its Valentine’s Day, but that doesn’t stop the Sunset Race. I’ve been married long enough that it isn’t a highly encouraged [or else] type of holiday. Actually, we both agree its a made up holiday, but that is another topic. I started off the Sunset Race with a unicycle ride. Even after all these times … Continue reading “123rd Sunset Race – 2/14/2019”
