Depends on when you count from. I’m losing track. Last Thursday was the last day I was in the office. That day started with a haircut, then I drove to campus, and worked until about 4:30. I planned on stopping to get gas on the way home, and that meant that there I was on … [Read more…]
I guess. Until it’s not. I’ve started doing my walks now without a stop at a coffee place, although Mark stopped in at one today (Sunday). I guess that will stop if/when Wisconsin follows Illinois and Ohio, and makes all bars and restaurants carry out only. Or I mean he could stop and pick up … [Read more…]
Friday the 13th, working at home, and getting another email about a cancellation or closing every half hour or so. Italy, where everyone is quarantined and singing: US, where a sports journalist (Utah Jazz reporter for The Salt Lake Tribune), a.k.a. white, fairly privileged guy, can’t get tested: and we have the last person in … [Read more…]
… cookie fairy escapades, grading, working remotely constantly, and all the way up to Christmas Eve. Sunday morning after the party I washed the last serving platter at 9:37. I made this cranberry ginger cake from Milk Street Kitchen that I had had a vision of serving warm with mascarpone whipped cream at the party, … [Read more…]
So what the heck happened to the rest of last week, and weekend? (Zombie dragon) Because now it’s Tuesday already. Thursday afternoon I went to a retirement party for one of the technology guys at the main UW-Library. We were in library school at the same time, and he is a good bit younger than … [Read more…]
Kind of a lot of it is my own cooking, but I guess that’s as it should be, since I’m actually living here, not vacationing, touristing, or conferencing – yet. Friday the librarians’ conference begins**, so I should have some additional eating adventures then. Stove top mac & cheese, that I made for one … [Read more…]
All of a sudden, I have now been here in Seattle for longer than I have left to be here. I’ve been here 20 days and have 11 days left. Makes me feel even more slovenly since I am right now washing the bed sheets for the first time, although to my credit when it’s … [Read more…]
It being Sunday, I walked to the co-op and bought a few things, then crossed the street to Westman’s Bagels, and took my spot in the long line that you have to wait in, even if you’re buying whole bagels to take home, and not a sandwich. The line looked pretty much like this when … [Read more…]
Is my tagline for the weekend, anyways. Or maybe that should be “seeking inspiration”. Friday I worked until 5:00, recording a lecture for one of my classes that I think I’m gonna do over, anyways. Came home and made a loaf of garlic bread with our German exchange student, so that she could take it … [Read more…]
It was raining this morning so I decided to work at home. As soon as I got out of bed – before 7:00, before feeding the cats – the meanderings started. I turned on my computer to send a message to work that I was working at home, and checked into my online course to … [Read more…]
