Aaaah, 3-day weekend

It’s early afternoon on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend – meaning we still have another day off. I woke up at 6:30, (well, after waking at 2:00 and at 5:10 or so to feed the cats) and went back to sleep until 7:12, instead of lying awake worrying like I have the last few […]

Summer’s End

My brother wrote a post of the same title a few days ago, listing his accomplishments, or at least what he did, for this summer, so I thought I would follow suit. I taught an online class on web design for 24 library masters’ degree students. I felt that it was one of my most […]

So disappointed

Initially, because I got a musk melon instead of watermelon in my CSA box – and the farmers I buy from, Tipi Produce, grow really good watermelons. But they sell to Willy Street, too, so I bought a chunk of one of their watermelons at the co-op and it’s in the fridge waiting to be […]

A grown-up birthday

Construction shots

So a little over a week ago, I was complaining that my office is in the midst of construction hell, but I didn’t have the pictures. Here they are.

Last day in Lolla-Land

When we got up on Sunday morning in Oak Park, for the last day of Lollapalooza, it was raining – as it is right now in Madison, as I write this, already the following Friday. Mark and I went to Starbucks, and I took my computer for the free wifi, and wrote an earlier blog […]
