The big event for me today was at the dentist’s office, where they installed the crown on my implant. It was painless (I’d paid at the previous visit).

This afternoon, we watched a livestream of a performance by Jake Shimabukuro from AARP in honor of Asian-American and Pacific Islander Month. He was great – I don’t think the performance will be made available for later viewing, but his Mother’s Day concert is online and free at his site and of course there’s a lot of his music available on YouTube.

The weather today was stunning – we had dinner outside and it was wonderful. It’s going to heat up over the weekend, so I’m glad we could enjoy it today.

I had a brain fart while making dinner tonight (Blistered Broccoli Pasta with Walnuts, Pecorino, and Mint) – instead of putting the pasta in the boiling water, I dumped in the broccoli. I realized the mistake in about 20 seconds and drained everything, then continued with the recipe. It came out OK, but the broccoli was noticeably sweeter and greener than usual (and less crunchy, too!).

We watched Episode 2 of Life at the Waterhole this evening – I’m looking forward to next week’s finale.
