Or, between two breakfasts. Here’s the first one: On Tuesday morning I got up at Omigod (4:45am) and drove to the train with Mark. We were in Chicago at quarter to 9:00 and my flight wasn’t until 12:10, so I went looking for breakfast and ended up at Corner Bakery. After breakfast, I took the … [Read more…]
But too tired to write about it now – more tomorrow. Here’s a view of the Capitol Building, from the steps of the Library of Congress. I love the purple color of those lamps.
My little brother turned 60 on Monday. Here’s a card Chad & Lea made: Yep, that’s him. My friend Terese is the same day as my brother and the same year as me, so she turned 62. I got a cake from a local, regular sugar and flour type, bakery, and added marzipan carrots and … [Read more…]

There were really … [Read more…]
And other fun in strip mall land in central Florida. Since it’s June, and I get my allotment for the whole year at the end of the month, I don’t have any actual vacation days left, although I do have banked time and personal days. But since I worked all day Saturday and Sunday at … [Read more…]
Our first meeting of the day Monday included breakfast. It was a pretty good breakfast, just a little too early in the morning for me. I took a half slice of French toast, a little 100-calorie cup of Yoplait peach yogurt (that was too gloppy and tasted mostly of the color orange rather than peach, … [Read more…]
On Saturday, we both had to be at the conference pretty early. We took the T to South Station, and started over the bridge to the Convention Center. I peeled off and took the stairs down to Flour, a little bakery where we’d gotten lunch (bacon sandwiches, basically) the day before. Well, seemingly little – … [Read more…]
Here we are in Boston for the winter library conference. I am not getting covered by work for this one, but my plane ticket was really cheap, less than $200, and I have my hidden perc – Mark works for the library association and gets a comped room so as long as I stay with … [Read more…]
