… in my last post. Friday was a work from home day, but I didn’t have any meetings until noon, so I started the day with a bike ride through the Arb, stopping by the library to pick up a hold book and return a cookbook that I decided to buy, finally swinging by Penzey’s. … [Read more…]
So here it is Saturday again; this time last Saturday I was heading for the Urgent Care. More on that in a minute. People are starting to come back to campus. Monday was my department’s annual faculty & staff retreat, and there’s a lot of moving going on in the neighborhoods where lots of students … [Read more…]
… Actually almost two. Last the week of August 8th was kinda crazy – I took two days sorta off from work, Tuesday was election day and Thursday was my birthday. Sorta off because I worked the polls on Tuesday and then still did some grading in my online class afterward, and even on Thursday … [Read more…]

On Monday (July 11) Susan and I walked and took pictures of flowers.
So, last week was kind of funny, because we got back from the library conference on Wednesday. I worked some on Wednesday afternoon, then full days Thursday – including going to campus to volunteer for the book sale – and Friday, and then it was the holiday weekend. Saturday I wore myself out on food … [Read more…]
I went to the American Library Association conference in Washington D. C., back in person for the first time in three years. This required doing all kinds of things I’m way out of practice of doing like booking a hotel & airline travel. Despite dire warnings from UW’s travel agent – I got an email … [Read more…]
I feel like I’m forgetting everything I ever knew, and especially how to do all the things I’m supposed to be good at. Getting old and irrelevant, not keeping up. Maybe I’m living in that Billy Collins poem. I know one of the ways I’m feeling not like myself is how little documentation of cooking … [Read more…]
