I’m trying to remember what I ate for dinner my single girl nights this week. I know I was trying to just use what there was in my almost-empty fridge. Tuesday was the “Make-Hers“; Wednesday I think I had a big lunch – egg salad, a bagel, and then just some salad for dinner, with […]
A long ass week, as John might say, or might’ve said when he was in high school. Sunday: I went to Library School graduation, and Mark went up to the Twins to watch his son graduate. After the SLIS graduation, I biked to the Capitol Square for the WORT block party, and got rained on. […]
I hung new blinds in the kitchen today, replacing the 13-year-old ones that were there. I still need to go over and do E. Wash. If I was really a landlord, I guess I would’ve taken the old ones over there, instead of buying all new. But the old ones were really dirty and faded, […]

First, WiLS OCLC Peer Council. The conference was Tuesday, but our friend and colleague Eric Childress came in on Monday, gave a little talk at the library school, and we took him out for dinner. The Old Fashioned was too crowded, so we went around the corner to Underground Kitchen. Eric, who lives in Columbus […]
