New York trip – NYC & Hudson River Valley
I did this once before, in the spring of 2015. This trip is a little longer; 2 nights in NYC, and 3 nights in the Hudson River Valley. And Jenny moved to the Bronx. I flew on American from Madison to Charlotte NC – their new hub. We had to walk across the tarmac, like … [Read more…]
Moving out, moving in …
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…]
Library conference with a cold …
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…]
RH x 2
Or, I don’t think I’m ever going to catch up. Mark’s brother and sister-in-law came to visit the weekend before last, and then by a fluke we also got Mark’s nephew, his wife, and their two kids who are 8 and 13, for an overnight. They were all on their way to the U.S. Open … [Read more…]

My friend Joe is getting a lot of press for having turned his podcast series, Documents that changed the world, into a book, with a slightly different title, Documents That Changed the Way We Live. So here’s one that changed me. Found in an old filing cabinet … [Read more…]

Feeling like I’m becoming invisible
I think it’s a natural thing that as you age, you start feeling like you’re no longer “at the pulse of it all” like Arthur Kane, as Robyn Hitchcock sings in N.Y. Doll. This weekend, somehow, I felt worse than that – like I’m becoming invisible. Probably much of my malaise is related to the … [Read more…]
Memorial Day 2017
Even the kitty cat slept in on Memorial Day. So here’s the plan. We had a nice little driveway party on Sunday, and we finally lucked out with the weather. I only took a pic of my beer; Megan got the best shot of one of the neighbor kids running down the driveway to the … [Read more…]
