Bette and I attended the Woodstock Children’s Summer Theatre performance of HSM at the Woodstock Opera House in Woodstock IL. We have attended many events there, by far this was the loudest — not the show, but the audience. We went to the 2PM show with two young friends, Raea and Keefer, and to fit [...]
I use KeePass to track hundreds of passwords, securely.
I also use Replicator to synchronize the files between my USB flash drive, home and work PCs. Sometimes it gets confused, mostly when I make changes at both ends. Replicator realizes this and stops. It creates a copy of the file, renames it password~1.kdb and replicates [...]
Steven continues the tradition of talented Rausch boys with his senior recital at Woodstock High School. Claire de Lune was magnificent – I closed my eyes and kind of floated along.

We checked into the Casa, and visited with Sam for a while. Karin was out getting [...]
At the Green Zebra we got a little of everything. Yes, it is loud and expensive, and yes, you may hit White Castle on the way home, but it was all good…
We had some beignets. We had two orders of potstickers (Curried Potato Potstickers, cilantro tamarind sauce, fresh coconut) for appetizers. We had roasted beets [...]
For her birthday, Bette wanted to go to the Green Zebra, a nouveau-vegetarian restaurant in River West Chicago. We heard about it, seen on Check Please, and talked about with friends, none of whom had anything bad to say. Sign me up!
Sara, Bette and I headed down on Wednesday afternoon on Metra, overstuffed heavy [...]
