Recent Happenings

It's hard for me to believe that the year is about half over already; the past few weeks have flown by especially quickly. Here are some recent happenings:

• Sissy and KC (her husband) drove out for a visit; we spent two weekends together, with them exploring Canada and upstate New York while we were working. We visited the Statue of Liberty & Coney Island the first weekend, and we went to Rittenhouse Square for WWKIP Day, followed by a trip to Circus School, the next weekend. At circus school, I learned... I need more practice at circus school.


• We also ate cake & fought zombies with Ivano, Peccable, TrackerNeil, and Amy F. That was a good time. Peccable & TrackerNeil have big things going on; I'm so pleased for them. They're delightful separately, fantastic together, and I love them dearly.


• Chico received a bonsai tree for Father's Day. It was well-received.


• Roxy, the new Bad Cat of the house, decided it would be a Good Idea to break through one of the window screens in pursuit of a bird outside & stubbornly spent some time on the roof. I'm not sure I like having the humans outnumbered by the animals, but we're such suckers for homeless animals.


• I'm an entrelac-knitting fool these days. Once Baby Burno's blanket is done, I'm going to rip back Baby Eriksen's blanket & start over with this entrelac pattern.


• We have a boatload of things we need to do this weekend, but all I really want to do is make a light picnic and spend time out in a park.


• I enjoyed this daily fiction story quite a bit.


• Tomorrow, I will be 0x24 in hexadecimal.


• I have jury duty on Tuesday; I don't mind going to jury duty, but I hope I'm not selected for another murder trial. I didn't care much for having that kind of responsibility for judging someone else's life.


• Next Friday, we're going with a whack of people to see the Camden Riversharks play baseball. I've gotten so spoiled by having a minor league team so close; I love going to their games.
