I hope my readers had a good weekend. Sorry that I haven’t
written in so long, but it was a busy time. Thursday I was supposed to get
together with Light Bright, but her toddler got sick (as they often do), so
Travalon kindly brought me my ukulele, then we went to Lakeside for a light
dinner, and then he went to a basketball game while I jammed with the ukulele
group. Man, were there a lot of ukuleles there that night! Hundreds of them! We
played Christmas songs, and some people had brought jingle bells, a slide
whistle, and kazoos. Then I remembered that I too had a kazoo in my ukulele
case, so I got to join in the fun! It was such a blast.
Friday Travalon and I watched a DVD about the Camino to
Santiago, then we went downtown as usual, and then I actually talked him into
going to Fired Up with me to make fused glass. He made a very cute dog that I
will post soon, and I made a lame Christmas tree ornament. We had dinner at the
restaurant in the same mall, then we went to Lakeside again to hear classical
guitar. The brother-in-law of the Daughter of Denni was there, as always, and
he is our favorite, but there were some other amazing guitarists there as well.
Saturday Travalon and I heard one song by a klezmer band,
then we went to a balalaika orchestra concert. This was all free. We rode the
holiday trolley again and had some chocolate. Travalon went to a basketball
game while I took a walk to enjoy the beautiful day, then we went to the
Chocolaterian to hear the Daughter of Denni’s band play. We ended the evening
by going to a birthday party for one of Rich’s housemates. The other one is
from Brazil, and he thinks I’m hilarious, so of course I like him.
Yesterday we watched that highly disappointing Packers game.
I can understand that Rodgers is a little rusty from not playing for weeks, but
it was painful to watch him throw three interceptions, and also to see the
Panthers get a touchdown on a questionable call. Then Travalon and I went to
the antique store to find a suitably cheap and cheesy gift for the white
elephant gift exchange at my work Christmas party on Wednesday, and then we
went to the jazz jam at the Rigby. We had only heard a couple of songs when
Travalon got a text that our glass pieces were ready to pick up, so we got
them, and then we had dinner at Bahn Thai again because Travalon loves the red
curry duck dish so much. I tried it too, and it really is delicious. Finally we
went home and watched a couple of Christmas episodes of Keeping Up Appearances, always a hilarious show. Hyacinth sent
herself Christmas cards just so she could brag to the postman that she had
gotten over one hundred of them. Who has the energy to care that much what
other people think about them?
