Back in 1980 my friend Mike helped me build a loft bed.
We built a platform with plywood and 2×4’s, and set it up about 6 feet high. I think I remember one post was like the crossbar on a telephone pole… Where the old glass insulators were hung. I used to use that to hang up my shirts (7 flannel shirts to get me through the week).

I had a workshop bench underneath it, where I did my artwork for school and random electronics projects. And an easy chair. Smallest room I ever lived in, but one of the best for sure.

I started a few years ago, took Spanish 1 – 3.
But the instructor kind of rushed us and didn’t really help us keep at it. I gave it up, but I’d like to go back. It takes a lot of time to study!

It was very cool to speak a little Spanish in Barcelona (which was HOT!) ...Even though their regional language is Catalan. Catalan sounds really interesting!

Here’s a photo from a free lesson in Catalan dance that was given in front of the Cathedral one Sunday in July.

I love the look of the tickets… Our seats down front for one night :-), then its back to the ‘deep pile’.
