PS

My sister is going to be a famous urban planner someday.  Read her blog.

Goodbye, July

Another July passes — I’m half-sad to see it go, and with it long days (though hot) and summer sentiments. I lucked into a Patty Griffin show tonight — she was fabulous as always. The song that moves me most these days is “Trapeze,” which talks about a girl who makes a deal [...]

A Day that Started with Shattered Plates

I was totally emotional and over-reactive today.  I feel like I have so many possible tasks that it’s hard to prioritize — it’s important to test the new cataloging system, but I feel I do that best by cataloging.  I have an employee who works from home (well, sort of an employee — more of [...]

Etc.

So… My camera decided not to work on the hike I took with Kavi this morning, so I don’t have more pictures to post. I think it’s just the battery. I hope it’s just the battery. The hike was a shorter one (supposedly 5 miles, but it sure didn’t feel like [...]

Notes on a Square State

I’ve driven through Wyoming a time or two — always on interstate highways, always with destinations in other states.  I can’t say it’s my favorite state — more something that I feel like I should like for its openness, but I can’t get past the sparse population, and worse, the lack of restrooms.
That pretty much [...]

Two-Day Meeting…

…I’m in the middle of one…
I have plenty to write about this weekend, though!

Attempted Redemption of a Bad Day

I had a crappy day in which things such as these happened:

My sister’s flight home last night was delayed: 11:25, 11:55, 12:30, 1:40, and so on… It finally took off, and I was supposed to pick her up at 1:55, but then she called less than an hour later to say that the flight [...]

HotLinks

Jackson was gorgeous, and I’ll post pictures later in the week! I just got home tonight, and am not really ready to return to work tomorrow (but I will!). To keep you entertained meanwhile, here are some things I’ve starred on my feedreader over the past few days:
Cool calligraphy via Design*Sponge
Grass via Apartment [...]

Wyoming Weekend

We’re off to that other square state in just a little while.  Objectives:

Sleep at least 8 hours on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights
Meet Lacey’s mom
Hang out with two of the coolest librarians ever
See something geothermal that makes me feel like I’m in a Sci-Fi film

Hard Candy Melting

Nothing much to write about, really…  I thought I had another dentist’s appointment (do you say “dentist” or “dentist’s” appointment?  I’m going for the “’s” because I would say “doctor’s,” which might also be wrong, but sounds right), but in fact I was mixed up and don’t have to go until next week.  I don’t [...]
