With a small army in Seattle
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…]

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…]
The Library Conference in Boston
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…]
