Disinformation Talk & Psychology Museum | This blog post is about the two of us attending the October 2, 2024, panel of University of Akron professors discussing misinformation and disinformation, and then touring two sections of the Drs. Nicholas and Dorothy Cummings Center for the History of Psychology. We are very fortunate to have this great resource in Northeast Ohio.

IngenuityFest, PechaKucha, & Euclid Beach Park | The first day of fall had already arrived the Sunday before, but in Cleveland, we stretched the summer fun one more week by having three great events over the weekend of September 27 - 29, 2024! I hope this blog post encourages you to learn about the year-round activities of Ingenuity Cleveland, PechaKucha Night Cleveland, and Euclid Beach Park Now!

My Twitterversary is still canceled Oct 2024! | This is not a blog post. It just redirects to blog post comment about my Twitterversary still being canceled on October 1, 2024!

35th Cleveland Museum of Art Chalk Festival | On Sunday, September 15, 2024, my family visited the 35th Annual Chalk Festival at the Cleveland Museum of Art. This is my 13th year taking photos of the museum's annual Chalk Festival. I want to thank all the creative people who participated. The chalk art created every year is outstanding!

Soapy, Foamy Fun at BubbleFest Cleveland 2024 | Our family was very fortunate to attend the BubbleFest Cleveland public event in University Circle. We also went to the evening BubbleFest Variety Show as guests of one of the organizers, Steve Presser! We are so lucky that this international bubblers convention took place in Cleveland! Bubbleologists put on two FREE events and a show featuring the world’s best bubblers!

Exploring Malabar Farm & Mohican State Parks | On Saturday, August 31, 2024, we had a great time with our son, Michael, learning about the history of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ Malabar Farm State Park. At the farm, we went on both the Big House tour and the farm tour. After an enjoyable morning at Malabar Farm, we then had lunch at the Mohican Lodge and explored some of Mohican State Park.

Alaska! | We were able to find the perfect itinerary for our first-time cruisetour experience. This was our first-time visit to the state of Alaska! Our Alaska cruisetour included a three-day land journey, followed by the seven-day Alaska Voyage of the Glaciers Cruise on the Grand Princess^®. We also added an extra day to our journey on Thursday, July 4, 2024, to explore Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

32nd Annual Parade the Circle & Circle Village | We attended the 32nd Annual Parade the Circle and Circle Village 2024 with our son, Michael, on Saturday, June 8, 2024, and wanted to share with you our photos and videos, and links to what others shared about the day. We attend this event almost every year, and look forward to future years of this great arts event!

Flights of Fancy - An Ingenuity Bal 2024 | I was so glad to attend the Flights of Fancy - An Ingenuity Bal on May 4, 2024, at the IngenuityLabs for two reasons. First, is that I attend IngenuityFest practically every year, and write about my great experiences enjoying the event in my Ingenuity blog posts. The second reason is that I have great memories of attending this Ingenuity fundraiser many years ago, and I knew it would be a blast

Variety at The Cleveland Museum of Art | When I arrived at the Cleveland Museum of Art, the place was hopping! There was so much being offered at the museum, and I was grateful to be there to spend the full day exploring the "Print Club of Cleveland’s 39th Fine Print Fair," "Korean Couture: Generations of Revolution," and "Into the Seven Jeweled Mountain."

Africa & Byzantium - Cleveland Museum of Art | Thank you to the Cleveland Museum of Art for inviting us to the preview of the Africa & Byzantium exhibition, which included remarks by VIP delegates, and a tour of the exhibition. It took over four years to bring Africa & Byzantium to the museum. We appreciate being among the first people to view these historic artworks, many of which have never been shown in the USA.

Three-Day Total Eclipse 2024 Celebration! | The total eclipse was incredible, but we also want to note that the three days of eclipse celebration also featured many of the great organizations that improve the quality of life for those of us who live in the Greater Cleveland area. We hope to capture here not just what we observed during the 2024 total eclipse, but also the spirit of our community at the Cleveland events we attended.
