Due to various reasons, I have not posted here in just over a month So, here is a catch up on my life lately:
- On Saturday, 13 April, I went to Monticello, Iowa for Fleacon, IPMS/Alexander Lippisch's model contest and swap meet. My two entries--a Bren Gun Carrier and a 6pdr Anti-Tank Gun--each earned Bronze Awards. It was fun seeing some fellow scale modelers there.
- The next day, Julie and I cheered on St. Louis CITY SC to a 1-0 victory over Austin FC at CITYPARK. Before the match, we posed with Kevin Marshall for one of his selfies.
- I attended the IPMS/Gateway meeting on Tuesday, 16 April.
- The following Saturday, 20 April, I refereed youth soccer matches at World Wide Technology Soccer Park. After the games, I went to 2nd Shift Brewing to join other St. Louligans in a watch party for St. Louis CITY SC's match at Sporting Kansas City. It ended in a 3-3 draw.
- The next day, Julie and I visited the Midwest Model Vehicle Association--St. Louis Spring model contest and swap meet at Machinists Hall in Bridgeton. There, I dropped off some flyers for IPMS/Gateway's Invitational on 14 September and bought an aircraft kit.
- Saturday morning, 27 April, I refereed youth soccer tournament matches at Creve Coeur Park Soccer Complex.
- That night, Julie and I went to a trivia night at the Crestwood Community Center. It was being held by Eliot Unitarian Chapel. Our team finished second among some 18 teams there and I won two baskets of books in the raffle. We had such a fun time there.
- I was back at Creve Coeur Park Soccer Complex the next morning to referee more youth soccer tournament matches.
- Friday night, 3 May, Julie and I went to the Saint Louis Science Center for its First Fridays event, which this month celebrated the 2000s. We saw the documentary Cities of the Future, then the animated feature Shrek. Julie and I had fun with these movies.
- One week ago, 4 May, I assisted in cash wrap and provided maps to attendees at the Greater St. Louis Book Fair, held at Greensfelder Recreation Complex at Queeny Park. I was happy to volunteer at this fund-raising event, which I have done for several years.
- The following afternoon, 5 May, I refereed youth soccer matches at World Wide Technology Soccer Park.
Later.
