Amazing day with family at the Pistons and Props Air Show in Janesville, WI. Got to fly in That’s All, Brother, the plane that led the D-Day invasion and included my dad, 1st Lt Barney Blankenship, as one of the three pilots who flew the plane on that fateful mission.

In the wake of so much awful news this week, a beautiful summer evening with live music at the Morton Arboretum feels like I caught the breeze of grace.

Went to the wrong Tesla dealership in blue DuPage County. 😁 (Main protest was farther down the road.) Only four of us at first but grew to about a dozen.
Got a LOT of positive beeps, honks and cheers and some (but not a lot) of one-finger salutes (all from men). 😁 #HandsOff

Barbecued ribs, “Wicked” and a lovely southeast Missouri sunset. A good day.
