From Sunday to Wednesday last week we were tourists in our nation’s Capital. We got in on Sunday morning, dropped our bags at the hotel – a Kimpton that I got at an astonishingly good price – and went off seeking breakfast. I took a picture of a building tear-down and got another one on … [Read more…]
Last Thursday, the last day of the new online students’ on-campus orientation, I got a big, summer-y CSA box. That’s a few green beans, “silver” and green cucumbers, something like 2 1/3 pounds of tomatoes, bunches of basil and leaf lettuce, an onion two little melons, and 10 ears of corn. After I brought all … [Read more…]

I’m lame and lazy, so here’s a bunch of images from the last few days, some with captions. Instagram, you say?

It was kind of like watching a tennis match. On Friday, Belana’s parents were supposed to arrive at Chicago O’Hare at about 2:00 in the afternoon. Belana and her friend Kiera decided to take an early bus Chicago, so they could have a couple of hours downtown, then ride the blue line out to the … [Read more…]
Came home with a nifty piece of conference schwag that I don’t think I’d ever picked up at conference before: a nasty summer cold complete with a chesty cough, and losing my voice. Not my idea of fun. But I did manage to enjoy most of the conference. Friday night I went to a fancy … [Read more…]
