So we went off to Seattle, where it was 45° and rainy, leaving Wisconsin, where it was in the 30s and snowy. Over the course of the 4 days we were away, it warmed up and iced in WI, but the most drastic changes have been last night and today. It was 50° and pouring […]
It was only Mark & I for dinner our 1st night at the librarians conference, so I took him to Tom Douglas pizza place, Serious Pie. The downtown one was too full, so we walked to Westlake.
It’s cold and salt-encrusted and dirty everywhere I look outside. I think I have permanent hat hair. And I know I’m not getting enough exercise. Hmm, must be midwinter. I’m keeping the fridge pretty empty, but I had a nice work breakfast of thick yogurt and thick preserves, topped with granola. After breakfast, things kind […]
So, like I said, we spent Saturday night in Minneapolis. Ethan wanted to meet up with his friends and go to the Gopher hockey game, so it was just me & Mark for dinner. We ended up at a brewpub called Republic. We were on the early side, so we could make our 7:30 play […]
We’re breaking up the winter doldrums with an overnight trip to the Twin Cities, to take Mark’s son back to school. We haven’t started on our quest for dinner yet, so no food pictures, tho we do have brunch reserves at Hell’s Kitchen tomorrow (BTW – huge oversight on their part that the mobile website […]
My choice of snacks didn’t help the Packers at all – they lost anyways. Seems to have been a big problem with their defense. The Packer salad – bacon & fried cheese curds on top of lightly dressed greens – was quite good; I’d make it again – with more bacon. The pizza pockets […]
Time is especially funny this time of year. Two weeks ago Christmas was barely over – and it was still 2012. Barely a month ago – Dec. 14 – it was the day before the cookie party, and my life was quite different. Rather than slaving over a hot computer, trying to compose meaningful exercises […]
Since it’s our first weekend after our first week back at work after the holidays – albeit a three-day week – we kept this weekend pretty open and easy. I’ve been trying to do lots of New Year type activities – straightening and organizing, using up, throwing away, recycling. Walking more, and eating less sweets. […]
Back at the end of the last semester – fall 2012 – after the cookie party, but before Christmas (like 2 weeks ago <grin>), I was pretty sure there was something seriously wrong with me, incipient Alzheimer’s, brain tumor, something really bad – because it hurt to think. Christmas break wasn’t nearly long enough – […]
