Tickets please.
I think I’ve finally found a place where we skew the demographics younger–volunteering at our local performing arts theater.
Things we will do

Well, as Robert Zimmerman would say “The Times They Are a Changin’.” My relatively short repertoire of short sayings was quickly depleted. So as of today, we enter the post-pau era, even if it’s not quite there as yet.
Aloooo-Ha!
Perhaps it’s time to get into the tour business. Airport greetings, trips to Hilo Hattie’s, Luaus, that final pass by the ABC store. Sounds like fun. Please remember to tip your guide.
Rooting in Rotterdam
As of today, we know where the Tour will start, so we probably know where we’ll be on July 4th. Since the rest of the tour route is yet to be announced, the plans from this point are up in the air. For US Independence day in Holland, we’ll be substituting slagroom and old gouda …

The keikis around here tend toward a fondness for real whipped cream. At dessert time recently, I produced a can of spray-on dairy product and Delaney promptly turned up her nose and stomped out of the kitchen. Continuing the culinary arts seems like a good part of the pau plan.
Practicing the post-figmo era.
We’ve spent a few days practicing what will be going on in the post-figmo era. After a couple days of serious eating and drinking in Minneapolis, we spent two more doing much of the same, on pristine lake just outside of Ely, MN. Charles Kuralt, once the owner of WELY “End of the road radio”, …
