Weeknotes: 06/21/25-06/27/25

This Week:

• On a weird Sunday that was supposed to be blistering, but instead turned into a thundering downpour, we watched “Ratatouille”.
• Alanna and I watched “The Ballad of Wallis Island”. It was a sad, thoughtful movie about holding onto the past, and the way that music transcends time.
• It was my and Alanna’s Anniversary on Thursday. We traded cards and ate pizza with the kiddos, then ended the night singing together.
• I finally got around to seeing “Sinners”, and it was brilliant, as brilliant as everyone says. I loved so many things about it, from the acting, to the humor, to the thoughtful and creepy take on vampires, to the way that it posited music as the energy that powered a world outside of whiteness.
• We had our “Half Day Fun” program at the Museum, with crafts and activities for kiddos in their last week of school, which is again all half days.
• I did some work organizing and advertising for our summer Crafternoons programs.
• I finished reading Joe Lonsdale’s strange and delightful “Flaming Zeppelins”, and Hazel and I finally finished “Ramona the Brave”.
