My first trip – Cleveland!

Shut up, Ben

My son has a friend who is a docent at the Cleveland Museum of Art, and scored some free tickets to the Krishna exhibit. If you’ve never been, it’s worth a trip. It truly is a world class museum, and it is and always has been free admission to the main museum, with paid admission to the special exhibits. So you have to pay to see the reassembled Cleveland Krishna – but you will still be able to see a huge amount of absolutely wonderful art for free. Like, for instance, some Van Gogh. Here’s a good guide: https://clevelandtraveler.com/cleveland-museum-of-art-guide/

But wait! You’ll be on University Circle. There’s a dozen museums within walking distance, even in January: https://www.universitycircle.org/destinations/museums-galleries. And breweries. And ramen. And… well, lots of good food. It’s home to Case Western University, so there’s lots of fun things to do, including a restaurant called Michelson and Morely. Good restaurant, though kind of ethereal. Hah! Special Relativity dad joke!

Retirement is imminent

27 days left, so I’m working on the web site this weekend.

I’m working through the ‘WordPress Explained’ manual, so expect some weird and lame entries in here for now.  But there will eventually be travel, beer, and pinball.  Not necessarily in that order.

First scheduled trip is to Belgium in May!

Flying into Amsterdam, train to Antwerp, then to Ghent, Bruges, and back to Amsterdam. Nine days total so I’m not even going to try to make it to Brussels.

Here’s a link to my ancient blogspot.com.

Me. And me.
