Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02309

Tonight was the yearly play that Andy’s Middle School puts on. Last year one of Andy’s teachers suggested that Andy be considered to help run the lights at the play because Andy had such an aptitude for technical things. Last year Andy ran the spotlight for the show and this year Andy did the lights for the talent show and also the lights and sound for the play this year. The play was called The Big Bad and it was the trail of the Big Bad Wolf. The kids did a nice job of it.

My mom and my Aunt Donna also came to see the play. We chatted with Andy after the show. I had to get a shot of Andy’s t-shirt. Allison made it based on a sticker that the guy who runs the lights at ACT has on his light booth. He wasn’t there at rehearsal, which I had to run off to right after Andy’s show, but I’ll show him Sunday.

After the play Andy helped clean up all around. Allison said that Andy worked really hard cleaning up all the equipment. Andy will work hard if given a clear task and also being asked to do something. Andy normally won’t initiate things but will certainly help when asked.

I also spoke with one of the teachers who just happens to have gone to school with me. She told me that the teachers have nothing but complimentary things to say about Andy. That was great to hear.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo. 

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.
