I’m at work but I’m waiting for some video to upload and it’s been cranking away for kind of a long time while I worked on some slides for tomorrow’s class – and with the way all Apple products, like Keynote that I was using for my slides – are all backing up to iCloud … [Read more…]
I saw Garbage at Madison WI’s new concert venue The Sylvee. It’s named after Sylvia Frank, the late wife of Herb Frank. They founded a family business, Frank Productions, that started off booking concerts at the Dane County Coliseum, and grew to booking live concerts all over the country. Still family run, at least until … [Read more…]
On Wednesday I went to Chicago to see Robyn Hitchcock. I took the bus both ways, left at 1:00 Wednesday and was back in Madison by 12:30 Thursday so it was a quick trip. Fun though. Robyn had an electric band with him, so I was hoping for more Soft Boys and Egyptians tunes, and … [Read more…]
How does this happen, I think I am writing more, and then I look back at postings and I haven’t done anything for almost a week. I got a new iPhone on Thursday and I’ve been getting all my apps and preferences back to what I’m used to, so I guess I could say that’s … [Read more…]
I think I used to be more interesting than I am now, or more diligent. Or maybe I just had more time. Case in point – here’s this year’s First Weekend of Fall post, and a prior, same title, from 2012. I was cooking more, School Woods was still up and running, celebrating 6 years, … [Read more…]
And it’s still September. Not a very Wisconsinite thing to do, but our exchange student has been complaining of the cold, and upstairs, Mark turned his on already. The thermostat was in sleep mode, set at 62° and it was still 65° in the house, so I had to bump it up to 66° just … [Read more…]
I guess Saturday was the first day of fall, the Autumnal Equinox. I did a bunch of Fall-ish cooking things, including dealing with my 25 pounds of plum tomatoes that I biked up to the Square and purchased on Wednesday morning. In the freezer, I now have a quart of herbed, chunky tomato sauce, one … [Read more…]
Wow, I’ve not written for the same amount of time that was the out of date-ness of the milk that I tried to microwave for my coffee this morning, that turned into yogurt, or almost cottage cheese really, with the application of heat – curds and whey. It’s been busy and I’ve been forgetting, akin … [Read more…]
It seemed like a long hard week even though it was only 4 days. Tuesday I started off serving the pantry breakfast. It was the first UN-rainy day in forever, and as I already observed it felt great to bike to the east side. Came back and took Anna shopping for food to pack in … [Read more…]
No grilling. No parties or friends over. No biking. Lots of rain, and flash flood warnings, and sopping up the basement on Friday night. Now they say we’re under an areal flood warning – I guess that’s when there might be flooding due to slow seepage, instead of flash. On Friday I left work early, … [Read more…]
