Back To Where We B(e)lo(n)g

Well, the blog works again. The posting from yesterday was one from several weeks ago. These biking pictures are from about a week ago but I rode again yesterday and wore the same blaze orange shirt from the Heart Walk. This McGroarty Park is next to highway 52 just south of Upper 55th Street. There is a bike path along side the freeway from 55th to 80th street. It has been recently repaved and is ultra-cruisable.

See what I mean?

Here it crosses under 52 to reach the east side of the freeway. There is a lot of undeveloped land in this area. I wonder who owns it and why they haven’t put up condos yet.

This is the Lions Park pond with the freeway in the background.

My band played last Sunday at the famed Lake Harriett Band Shell. We did my solo piece again, which went pretty well, and . . .

. . . Vicky, one of our singers brought her high school aged daughter along for their rendition of A Few of My Favorite Things.

And, we also played Sweet Trombone Rag, a bone section feature. Leon sat in for this concert and we also have a new trombone player for the summer named Taylor. That’s Marie standing in the middle. Marie, James, and I have been playing in the band for around 12 years. It was nice to have five bones for this heavy program.  Most of our music has three trombone parts but there can be between one and four parts.

Here is our new Black and Decker electric mower possibly designed by a team of engineers at NASA. Nigel watched me cut the grass from the open bathroom window.
