Andrle needed to test the Halloween makeup.

Shade
Found the one cool spot at the very sunny bus stop this morning.
“Weird Al” in Concert
Last night we went to see Weird Al’s Strings Attached tour at The Paramount here in Seattle. It was a great show! I hadn’t seen him since going to a Poodle Hat tour show while I was in college in Philadelphia.
The addition of the live symphony was fun (especially the movie theme opening). Al’s still got over forty years into his career.
Mild spoilers below for his set list…
Andrle and I were both introduced to his music with “Amish Paradise” on Bad Hair Day, and we got that along with a few of our other favorites. The crowd overall seemed to be our age or a bit older so largely fans of his mid-’90s hits.
I think the biggest song of his I love that I missed was probably “It’s All About the Pentiums”. Also heard some cool live variations of some older tracks I don’t know as well.
My only disappointment was the swag… the tour logo didn’t look great on a shirt, and the pins available weren’t for this tour.
I’m a little hoarse from singing along to “The Saga Begins” at full volume.
Pasta Bake
A slight modification of a vegan lasagna from the How Not to Die cookbook. We used farfalle and kinda layered it instead of using big noodles.
Pretty tasty but next time we’re adding more sauce. And maybe something to give the cauliflower “ricotta” a bit more oomph.
Tofu Scramble
Theo requested “something special” because “he has cereal every day”… so I made breakfast.
I browned some tofu using this spice mix (though minus the black salt since we didn’t have any). Also threw in some sautéed peppers and onions plus some chopped up leftover broccoli from diner the other day. Tasty!
Bread
Making good use of my days off! 🍞
Pointer
Fun with temporary tattoos.
Disneyland Day 0
A few travel pictures as we head to Disneyland and then Oma’s.
The sunlit slopes of Mt. Rainier as we fly past the western flank heading south.
The faintly visible Hollywood sign on final approach into LAX.
Waiting for the shuttle bus to Disney and enjoying the Saarinen.
Cruising down one of LA’s numerous freeways only to see a spent Falcon booster at the SpaceX facility.
The view to the east from the hotel lounge of Downtown Disney and in the background a few of the Disneyland attractions sticking up above the trees.
Sunny Seattle
An unexpectedly warm and beautiful January day for a walk up the hill to Kinnear Park. The kids had fun swinging, and Theo loved the sign that explained how the trees in the park grow.
