Thrilled to see this at the Willy Street Co-op tonight.  I will have to check it out.  This made my day!  We saw King Lear at American Players Theater tonight.  It was wonderful.

Quackers and bobbleheads

My first Madison Mallards game was rained out tonight.  We went to honor Madison College and the Madison Mallards' shared employee, Gary "Big Dog" and got our "Big Dog" bobbleheads.  The heavens opened and poured buckets, so Gary couldn't throw out the first pitch.  It was a still a blast, albeit a soggy one!

Future Rangers

Today we welcomed high school students who participate in the Youth Options program through an orientation session.  It tested my knowledge base and really afforded me the opportunity to use my customer service skills.  I'm grateful to be a part of my work team.

What a great day.  Today, we welcomed 80+ Pokemon Go trainers to UWP for the #ParksideGo Pokemon meetup I coordinated.  It was a wild success! 

Work it!

Fifty-one

This guy works SO hard.  He does so much more than put in his due from 8-4:30.  He often works late nights and weekends for the benefit of his staff, his department, and his students.  In my view, he's an unsung hero.

Black Lives Matter

Fifty

I had the great pleasure of hosting a Black Lives Matter conversation today.  It was very powerful and empowering.  There's still much to be done, but it was a positive start and conversation opener.  In the evening, Scott and I went to Country Fest's pork dinner at my church and then Atwood Fest to enjoy some live music.  It was an all-star day.

A rocky bird-day

Forty-nine

Today was a special little lady's special birthday.  I pulled over to attempt to connect with her over FaceTime (to no avail), and this rural majesty was out my window.  When I finally did connect with KammyBird, she was NOT about to have me sing to her when I asked if I could sing her a special song.  "Can we just TALK?!" was her retort.  On another note, went to see the latest Bourne movie tonight and it was TERRIBLE!

The other-other white meat

I got home from work today and found this lovely family of turkey-birds in my backyard!
Gobble gobble!
