Keeping Tabs

 

It's been a while since we've looked at what I've been

searching for on the ol' Interwebs.

Let's see what's cooking on my many, many browser tabs.

Spooky Season 2025

 

Happy Halloween to you and yours!

Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut

Near modern day Luxor is where Thebes, or ancient Waset, was located.

It is the former capital city of Egypt throughout the New Kingdom (c.1570-c.1069BC)

And it's where you'll find the Valley of the Kings.

Karnak and Luxor

 

Covering about 200 acres, Karnak Temple is the largest

religious site in the world.

And I got to see it.

Houses of the gods

There are temples all along the River Nile.

Egyptian temples were places to worship the gods, but they

were also considered to be where the gods lived.

So, if a god were to live there, it had better be exceptional.

Mosques and Minarets

 

This is neither temple nor mosque,

but is the Cairo Citadel.

But, wait, there's more.

Pyramids

 

You can't go all the way to Egypt and not see at least one pyramid.

There's a law or something.

Eating my way through Egypt

 

It is wonderfully easy to get through my Egypt adventure

as a vegetarian.

And the mango drinks are the best!

Never pass up a fresh mango juice.

Back home and back to werk

Have returned from an amazing trip to Egypt.

Here is a sampling of some souvenirs I brought back.

Some alabaster figures, cheap canopic jar trinkets, beaded bracelets, 

wooden carved camels, a head scarf, and some leftover change.

August Flotsam

 

Another summer month nearly gone.

Still plenty to do though.

Clarinetfest 2025

 

Clarinetfest, Fort Worth, Texas

Let's review.

Everything is bigger in July, and Texas

 

Well, Howdy there, pardner!

July went by in a blur.

Before I talk about Clarinetfest 2025 (probably in the next post) 

let's look back at July.

There was a lot.

Dave, saxes and, ooooh look at the art!

Yes, yes, crash, bang, and boom.

Happy 4th of July. And also 3rd and 5th.

Fun Home in the Sun and Home

 

June has been busier than I expected it to be.

Thankful for a quiet weekend to pull myself together

before the schedule explodes again.

Take some time to smell the flowers

 

Evanescent Field

at the Figge Museum

Feed my Frankenstein! Feed it now! Do it!

You see this bird!

Leave her alone!

I'm Coily! The Spring Sprite! It's Spring!

 

The results are brush-taking!

 

Now that I got the mini-getaways out of the way, I

can focus more on what's going on in the homestead.

L' Abominable Boheme

Went out of town recently.

Made some new friends.

We've got Movie Sign!

Oy, it's been a busy few weeks.

Keeping Tabs

 

Time again to take a trip through the recent browser tabs on my phone.

I have lots of questions throughout the day, and no patience for

nonsense, so I often take to the ol Googler when any old thing

pops into my noodle.

Here are a few from the most recent collection.

Cake, Coats, and Muffins

Oh boy. We're in for a bumpy ride.

MST3K TOP TEN

 

Here are my Top Ten MST3K episodes

Waiting is the hardest part

The month of waiting.

happy new yeap (with lentils)

 

Happy 2025!

A friend dropped by on New Years Eve to share a glass of sparkling peach bellini.

Cheers!
