Boy, what a week.
We came back from a very full weekend in Denver, with two appraisal sessions and a talk at the Four Mile House museum...then promptly zoomed into work and practice sessions for a musical gig at Lu's Diner in Blanca, featuring Steve and the Outlanders. Our friend Bert came down from Colorado Springs to play bass. The Brick played keyboard and sang -- and yours truly did harmony. A good time was had by all.
But boy, are we exhausted. Every night, we fall into bed -- then sleep deeply. But it doesn't feel like we've slept at all.
The Brick went back up to Castle Rock for a meeting. I'm holding the fort til he gets back, and working on reports. And the 'Monday Stuff' report.
So here you go.
Speaking of:
'Mrs. Boo-kay' is no more. I loved the brilliant work of Patricia Routledge in Keeping Up Appearances. Routledge was 96.
Six healthy aging secrets -- from a woman who lived to 117.
A well-known gallery is raided -- turns out it's chockful of fake Salvador Dalis. (Not that anyone could really tell...he even signed blank sheets of paper before his death.)
French troops board a Russian tanker that's thought to be sending up drone spy devices. Part of a "shadow fleet," they say.
The Loch Ness monster resurfaces -- again.
The mystery of a B17 bomber lost during WWII is finally solved -- thanks to hunters who were actually looking for something else.
Computer parts -- as a dress? Yes, for the premiere of a Tron movie.
How to become wealthy -- one in a long series from ESIMoney.
274 plainclothes FBI agents in the Capital crowd on Jan. 6? Hmmmm....
The man who invented the '4% Retirement Rule' is actually spending more! (Well, not much more. Thanks, White Coat Investor)
"'Struggle Meals' from My Childhood" --
I dunno... some of these are kind of weird. But here's another list, and yet another one, if you're curious. ('Struggle meals,' by the way, are defined this way: "when you're broke, struggle meals are often the only thing you can afford.")
Would you be willing to PAY for your kids' artwork from school?
That's the question one Australian kindergarten posed to dozens of families this week when it asked them to stump up A$2,200 (£1,000; $1,400) for the pleasure of taking home a curated portfolio of their child's artwork. (Thanks for the heads-up, Mavis from One Hundred Dollars A Month.)
Hope you're having a good week.
