Today’s photo is from last year’s flyover. I skipped the parade and shot this from my home for a different angle.

BFO (June 25, 2026, 9:04 p.m.)

A bit over a week ago, we had one of those super dreamy nights that followed days of intense heat. The weather was changing, and the clouds provided a lovely blanket. When we arrived at Britt for Holst’s “The Planets” at 6:30 it was about 80 degrees. When we left at 10 p.m. it was 73 degrees. Perfection.

John Dough Boys @ OSF Green Show (June 23, 2026)

More than eight years have passed since the last time I saw the John Dough Boys play live. We walked away with smiles on our faces and a new t-shirt.

Only two of the current members were the same, but the band still doesn’t disappoint. I need to see them more often. Maybe some earlier shows (starting before 9 p.m.) in Ashland please and thank you.
