Yesterday afternoon Chris and I did different things. He went out in the car with my dad to get used to driving on the right and to a different set of laws, while I did the first five levels of Norwegian…
The Great Banking Mystery (Plus a video about Pudding)
We started out the day with some fairly good news. Chris finally doesn’t have to go to the dentist tomorrow and the weather is absolutely perfect: 70F/21C and not a cloud in the sky. It devolved fairly quickly though with…
X-flavored Y
Since Chris can eat normally again now, we went out for a celebratory burger that was in no way mashed potatoes, apple sauce or yogurt. While we were there, we found something quite quirky on the menu: We are still…
Dry Socket, Sunshine and Amazon
In the last few days, we’ve had a mixed bag of experiences. We’ll start with the less positive. Despite his best efforts, Chris has dry socket, but even managing to surprise the dentist, he just has a bit. I…

Navy Pier, Amtrak, and Arrival in Onalaska
After watching the sun rise over Michigan Avenue from the Congress Plaza Hotel, we set off to see Chicago. We started off with breakfast about 7 AM. It was extremely windy and cold for mid-May. We stopped into a coffee…
