Quarter to four AM and I’m listening the “Kids Rock” on Pandora. A bit of a surprise but I share Pandora with my daughter and I guess when she has our grandsons listen to Alvin and the Chipmunks and the Minions singing YMCA<\/em>, or “What the Fox Say?<\/em>” it switches my channel gets there so I didn’t have Gabriel Fuare to greet me when I revved my computer up to upload my latest sleeping-waking thoughts.<\/p>\n

I was destined to wake up early anyway because Claudia asked it I wanted her to set the alarm for 5:30 to watch the Moon’s eclipse this morning. I was afraid that the clouds might obscure it but when I walked into the computer room a bright moonlight was shining through my porch door onto the floor. Cool. Oooh, now I’ve got Dynomite<\/em> playing by “Kidz Bop.” I just went to their big show out at Bayfront festival park with the grandsons a couple weeks ago. They’re touring show. Claudia and my daughter got called up to dance during one of their numbers. I shot a lousy video of it on my cellphone. Its one of the zillions of photos\/videos that has nearly ground my phone to a halt because of all the memory they are hogging. It means I’ll need to take a day to figure out how to download the lot somewhere else so I can shoot another zillion of them over the next year or two and eat up the memory all over again.<\/p>\n

Ah, but this is not the post I sought out to write when I jumped out of bed. That one is coming up. This one just fits into the “Harry’s Diary” category. I keep that one up to: ONE, help me remember what was going on in my life at the time I posted other reflections on the world and Education in Duluth and TWO, offer some proof that this finger happy old curmudgeon has a real life outside of the computer and my public kvetching.<\/p>\n

Now that I’ve had a good dose of rocking to wake me up its time to switch back to some classical music while I pontificate about the Presidents of the United States. Then it will be onto a lively spiritual at our church men’s club. I’m today’s designated song leader and I’ve chosen Every time I feel the Spirit<\/em>. I hope all the other old guys can keep up with me. Our guest will be a long time Duluth Principal, Richard Carlson, who just wrote and published a children’s book<\/a>. In the small world department, author Carlson’s daughter Mary Anne is attending seminary with Claudia. She’s an educator (retired) too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
