The Ambassador

I read someone's blog and it reminds me of a landmark concert hall we had here in St. Louis. It was the Ambassador. The acoustics were fantastic. The seats were comfortable and well spaced. It didn't hold as many people as Kiel Auditorium or The Checkerdome but then again those venues had horrible... Sign in to see full entry.

Trip to the middle east part 15

I hear my number announced. I go in to talk with the guy at the appropriate glassed window. Not feeling the love from my country on this one. Anybody in the area waiting for someone can hear the conversation. I tell him I need a notarized statement for my marital status and religion. He gives me a... Sign in to see full entry.

Free Tickets to the Ballet

My daughter in law has free tickets for the four of us to see the ballet. Free is great. No loss if it sucks or we have to leave early because the kids are too antsy. The performance is called Precedence. We arrive early. We find our seats. Wow! The military has the front row. The kids of course... Sign in to see full entry.

Today's Agenda

My son announces we are going sightseeing today. More specifically we are going to the Smithsonian for natural history. I'm glad it's not the space branch of the smithsonian. Nothing against space travel but I am more interested in history and culture that involves more than just a few men who are... Sign in to see full entry.

Trip to the middle east part 14

I am an early riser. I haven't used an alarm clock in over 20 years. I just internally set my clock and usually wake 30 to 60 minutes before I want to wake up.
