Christmas Surprise

The girls got an early Christmas present. We surprised them with tickets to see Beauty and the Beast at the Ordway on Christmas Eve. The stage production is visually stunning, but I had more fun glancing down the aisle at their faces! As we came out, the snow was falling on Rice Park. Memories were made.

A Pretty Sweet Call

Commentator Mike Blowers of ESPN in Seattle gets a little goofy while making a pre-game prediction. He predicts that Matt Tuiasosopo of the Mariners will get his first major league homerun during that day’s game.

He gets a bit goofy when he starts making the call extremely specific.

The result of the call was amazing.

Flying in the B-17

I am not sure why, but the B-17 has always been one of my favorite planes.

One of the few B-17s still flying stopped through the Twin Cities for the 4th of July weekend. It can be visited at the Blaine airport.

More information about the B-17’s current tour, and this stop, can be found at b17.org

A few pics

I am playing with a new blogging application for my phone, but it presented itself as a good chance to post a couple pictures.

This is how I need to work.

“Dad… Can I grab my clipboard and climb up in the tree to do my homework?”

The combination of serenity and randomness in that request made it hard to say “no”.
