Gracious thanks to all who showed up to the Aerie (yes, Dan, you were right, caps now) for the housewarming that, unfortunately, more than lived up to that title — whew! it was hot, eh? But we fit more people into the aerie than we ever could have in the wee house on Crabapple, so…

Found in the Supermarket
I was reminded by Marko playing the Clash’s “Lost in the Supermarket” (you’re listening to WECS right now, aren’t you?) that I discovered this morning that the Price Chopper over on Central has — in addition to a large Indian section, yum! — a small section dedicated to British foods, so I have somewhere to…
Penultimate
It’s the penultimate day of the “working week” and it’s raining. Not ideal for moving, of course, particularly because a large part of what needs to be moved is art. Plus, the cable guy (or gal) is coming today to finally hook up the internet at the aerie, which will make life more convenient. I…
If Thursday was a Boat…
“Here’s why I did not go to work today…” I’m spending this “surreptitiously unique” day once more in the moving process because time is running out, work was not advancing well anyway, and it’s got to get done.

How to Survive Moving
Don’t do it…
Ah, London
Today is the first day of the rest of the month, and for us it’s the beginning of the hideous process known as moving. This is one of the shorter moves we’ve had in recent years, so I ought not to complain, but it’s still a painful process best avoided by putting my fingers in…
London Postcard
On a rented computer, so a swift recap of odd details with likely little time to give links for things, so when in doubt, Google them yourself and have fun. Monday off to the airport with the students, many parents and family in attendance, so feeling the reins of responsibility rather heavily. Ran into Paul,…
Vecchia Zimarra
Off to Connecticut tonight to empty out the storage space. I shall have to sing my goodbyes to the things we throw away (may they be many). But I’ll think about that later — work to do now and anyway, I should be thinking about seeing friends tonight (a much more pleasant thought). I woke…
