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…]
I’m going to the Library Conference instead … Organized by arktictoc And here’s more info about Solar Flare – in Norwegian & translated (I’m sure you can get Google translate to do your own translation too.) #Repost @f_stromstad ・・・ The No Ones, photo by Adam Selzer One of the 3 (count 'em) bands formed, triggered, … [Read more…]
So let’s see – we got back from Seattle last Tuesday, and Belana and I took a cab home, dropped our bags, and went to see Infinity Baby at the film fest. The first third was pretty funny, then it got a little too weird. We ate peanut butter sandwiches during the movie that we … [Read more…]
It could’ve been foreshadowing of what was to come in my yoga class, where of course the teacher was going to talk about well being. Or it could’ve been the weather – which is back to “normal” for late February in Wisconsin, cold, snowy, sunny. Or maybe because I was happily thinking that plans I’d … [Read more…]
It was sunny today, and cold. I walked up to the city county building to do some training so I can work on early voting at the library on Saturday, and there was a girl in front of me with Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead and other hippie-dippie embroidered patches on her backpack. I was … [Read more…]
We left Madison on Friday for a combined family weekend in DC, and trip to Charlotteville VA for a conference for me. Now I’m back at DC’s National Airport for the trip home. I rented a car and drove from Washington down to Charlotteville, and it was a pretty drive through rolling Virginia countryside, with … [Read more…]
Today when I was driving from Madison to the Harvard train, I felt all jumpy and didn’t trust any of the other drivers. I kept thinking someone would just pull over and cut me off – what’s to stop them? I was starting to feel better after a truck signaled to change lanes, and it … [Read more…]
This week felt like the real first week of school. Last week Labor Day made it an easy(ish) 4-day affair. This week was the real thing – not for sissies. Last Saturday Belana got stung by a bee at a cross country meet and had a bad reaction. So Monday my day started with calling … [Read more…]
On Sunday morning I got up and we had finally trapped a couple of raccoons. I think the trap slamming shut waked me at 4:30 AM, and when I went out a little before 7:00, there they were. Note how, in less than three hours, the one on the left – the mean one – … [Read more…]
Saturday we went to the farmer’s market and sat outside on a low stone wall by the Capitol, and ate pastries from Graze, and coffee and a scone from Colectivo for breakfast. Something like this, although we had a cherry Danish and a sausage croissant, which is just a roll like pain au chocolat, with … [Read more…]
