- This was the week I restarted walking. After a nineteen day hiatus it felt good to get out. I ended up walking twice this week. I should have done three but on Friday weather was coming in I just didn't feel like getting caught out in the drizzle and freezing fog. That drizzle and freezing fog did not come in as expected and I could have easily walked. Oh well.
My first walk - on Monday - was in Omaha. The second one midweek was at Hitchcock Nature Center with a twenty-five pound backpack.
All in all I walked a hair over 15 miles (24.2 km) this week. - While I was walking on Monday something caught my eye. At first I thought it was a drown with flashing lights. I pulled out my camera and took a few grainy pictures. Turns out it was a group of mylar balloons reflecting the sunlight.
Not a drone … just balloons. - On Thursday Mom and I went out for lunch in the Old Market. We ate at Jams in a location that has changed hands a few times over the years. It was located where the Wife and I watched the fireworks on a unusually drizzly New Year's Eve ten years ago.
- It did snow Friday night into Saturday morning. We had four inches more or less and the neighbor's snowblower helped me finish both of our driveways in no time flat.
- The last big thing this week was the return of music.
- I was reading a local entertainment publication and saw that the Tedeschi Trucks band was coming next week. I caught a bit of Derek Trucks years ago (possibly pre-Homer's Travels) in Ventura, CA when he warmed up for Eric Johnson. His wife, Susan Tedeschi, caught my ear while searching for Derek Trucks tracks. They are coming to the Orpheum a great old theater. I got a ticket and it should be a great start to my return to music.
- In March the Wife and I are going to see Enter the Haggis. We saw them in person twelve years ago and they were so fun we are gong to see them again. Bag pipes … what's not to like?
- On 1 April I'll be going to see Bon Jovi. First time seeing him.
- Three days later on 4 April it's Alice Cooper. I had tickets for him back in March 2020 but COVID got in the way and his show was rescheduled until it was canceled. Hopefully this time I'll have better luck.
- Five days later on 9 April it's Santana. I almost didn't buy a ticket but my ticket buying spree pushed me over the edge. I've learned that the age of the performer has to be taken into account as I have missed three concerts due to the death of the artist. I don't want this to happen again if I can help it.
