I love MuseScore 4. It’s great for laying things out and overall balance, and their free Muse Sounds are fantastic. For the past three tracks I’ve completed, 75 percent of the work has been in MS4.
I found fewer photo opportunities in London and England than in Iceland, but it was a memorable trip nonetheless.
It was no surprise to me when remote learning hit our house in March and our oldest viewed due dates as the day he needed to start working on the assignment. I had to get creative to change that viewpoint.
I lost track of how many times my son watched the original How To Train Your Dragon movie. What surprised me was that I was right there next to him for nearly every showing, and nearly all of those viewings were voluntary.
I took and embarrassing amount of photos during our week in Iceland, but nobody who has visited the island will blame me.
Here are some supplemental lessons I learned, and by “lessons,” I usually mean ´’mistakes’ or ‘misconceptions’ that tripped me up. None of them are life-changing or groundbreaking, but if even one of these manages to save you a headache, then great.
I found our family’s new favorite pick-up-and-play favorite in Calliope Game’s Roll For It!.
My wife’s family met for a week long vacation in a rural Kentucky house. Heavy rains our first night flooded a nearby stream.

My hometown of Plano, IL has experienced a lot in the last 20 years. Perhaps the coolest development occurred in the summer of 2011, when Plano doubled as Smallville, Kansas, the fictional hometown of Superman, for the movie Man of Steel.

The first official activity we did after arriving was a tour of London atop an open double-decker bus. I highly recommend it, and the earlier in the morning, the better.

Stonehenge and Bath were the other destinations on our coach tour.

We took a coach tour to the northwest, and Windsor Palace was a surprise hit with my sons.

Photos: London by foot
This is our first trip during which we rented no cars. So, when we weren’t in buses, coaches, or tubes, we walked. In one of London’s warmest heat waves in recent history.
