Shots from our day of tourist-ing in L.A. – we toured Warner Brothers studio, and saw cars – like 2 batmobiles, and the caddy from Driving Miss Daisy, fake food & real appliances, stuff from the Friends set, the woodshop, chandeliers, a generic building that can be Merlotte’s or a bunch of other places, the […]
Sunday morning was the OCLC update breakfast – but I just grabbed coffee and juice because I had to go to another meeting. I really wanted to see if Jay Jordan said anything about his cancelled retirement – he showed a few slides with DDC numbers for motorcycle gangs and said that was what he […]
We’re back in Disney Land – haven’t been here since 2008. I am doing a crap job of recording meals we’ve had – but to my credit, we haven’t had anything that was truly wonderful – at least in my humble opinion (which is really not so humble). The first night here we drove to […]
We’re in Duluth/Superior for a librarians conference, the Lake Superior Libraries Symposium, held Friday June 1. It was the first one and it was a pretty good library conference. Some good sessions, good keynoter, and ubiquitous wifi because it was held at a Community College. And that also meant that there was a never ending […]
Friday was shopping and baking, Saturday was baking and party, yesterday we lazed around and recovered. I made some pizza crusts and we made a few nice little pizzas – potato & garlic, roasted broccoli and red pepper with goat cheese that Lea’s daughter Liz made, tomato sauce, green olives, diced tomato and lotsa mozzarella, […]
So I’m stuck in the Denver airport on my way to my brother’s in Seattle. The wifi’s good, but I don’t wanna work anymore. I posted all my internship students’ placement sites in the online course from the bar, but I am not going to read any of their submission now – sorry. It’s almost […]
Monday morning in Chicago, Mark & I got up and headed to a nearby Starbucks to give our girl the first crack at the bathroom – her toilette is much more complex than Mark’s or mine. We got packed and checked all the bags at the hotel, then headed to Art Institute to work up […]
Everybody’s doing their annual April Fool jokes, but we are in Chicago enjoying ourselves, no foolin’, and my over-earnest style doesn’t really lend itself too handily to April Fool pranks. Google’s got Nascar, the first time I went there this a.m. it even said “I’m steering Lucky“; I expect TidBits will do something tomorrow when […]
Whatever that is – My brother’s writing about the string of snow days in Seattle that disrupted his schedule, and I’m in Madison still feeling conference-time-shifted. For me, rather than snow storms, I think it’s the perfect storm of a long weekend in Dallas, including one twilight zone day, (capped off by Mark’s bout with […]
