The Blues Brothers got their start on SNL on January 17, 1976. Nearly 50 years later, I took the above photo of their statues enjoying the sunset on someone’s deck on Whidbey Island.

The Dalles Bridge (January 2016)

Ellie and I were on our way back to Southern Oregon from a recruiting visit at Whitman College when today’s photo was taken. She didn’t end up going there, so this is from the last time we were in Walla Walla.

2026 is her 10-year high school reunion year and my 40th. Yikes!
