Started with a Willy St. Co-op finance committee, after which I got to drive my car out the back exit of the parking lot to Jenifer St.

\nNothing happened – I didn’t run over any kids or old ladies, or people my own age, houses didn’t crumble to dust. I just pulled out, turned left, drove half a block down Jenifer Street to Baldwin, left again, and headed over to E. Washington to drive downtown.<\/p>\n

Stopped by Mark’s office to book tickets to go to New Orleans for ALA at the end of June. Mine ended up costing $20 more than his did, some special must’ve got yanked at 9:34 a.m.<\/p>\n

Then in to work, mostly grading assignments and trying to beat email into submission, until 1:15 when I had to drive to the far west side for my yearly check up. Which went fine except for when I told the doc I’d had a little spotting the month before, didn’t seem so odd even though I haven’t had a period since 2007 (I am 55 after all) she said, “it’s ok, but if it happens again, call me”. Uurrgh.<\/p>\n

Went home, picked up my edible books contest<\/a> cake entry, then back to campus to install the cake, decorated with a Gourmet<\/em> magazine cover, in the show.<\/p>\n

August 2002<\/p><\/div>\n

After considering making the wine jelly on the cover and attaching the gelatin and fruit to the cake, I opted for printing the magazine cover image onto to tracing paper and sticking it to the cake. Sort of high concept – The recipe for the cake is IN the magazine. Here’re more pictures<\/a> of the contest cakes.<\/p>\n

After I set up the cake, went back to work, and finished grading the last 6 assignments – Yay! And back to edible books for the judging.<\/p>\n

Then home for dinner, broccoli salad<\/a> and a liverwurst sandwich<\/a>. With sweet pickles. Now I almost feel ready for bed. At least pajamas and the couch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
