Highlights from Ps & Q

Back in the beginning of the COVID outbreak, all the local playgrounds closed and we've generally steered away from them ever since. The neighborhood playgrounds have opened back up, but out of abundance of caution, we haven't really brought it up with the kids. They...

Friday was fairly uneventful, as we found ourselves cruising into the first weekend we've had a little while without major plans or travel on the agenda. Amelia had school, I had a few calls and meetings, yadda, yadda. But the big excitement came later in the day.The...

Thursday felt like a day where echoes of the days before COVID tried to settle themselves into the present day. For one thing, I had my first in-person presentation for work since before the world shut down. I've done a zillion of these on Zoom in the months since,...

Wednesday was our first full day back home, and all of us were pretty tired and struggling to adjust back to regular life. I was certainly fighting through some rust and mental cobwebs getting through emails and other work bric-a-brac that had piled up while we were...

We got up early on Tuesday morning to get on the road for the final leg of our trip home. The weather forecast was foreboding. It had been 100 degrees in Colorado only a day before, and we saw the temperature would drop and the front range would be hit by snow and...

Friday morning, we got up bright and early to make a LONG trek, starting our journey back to Wisconsin for my brother David's wedding to the wonderful Jessica Harms. We decided to knock out a big chunk of the journey on day 1, going all the way from Denver to Des...

Thursday was a flurry of activity in the Schneider Haus. Lots to do and get ready before hitting the road on Friday. I had a long to do list on Wednesday, and probably double that on Thursday. So taking Amelia's example from yesterday, I hunkered down early and at...
