I Am Here

. . . at the pool. Last day of vacation for J. Have been having some problems uploading pictures for my blog entries so haven't been publishing lately. Will check into this soon.

It's All About Me

. . . at least for the past week. J has been away with her dad again, coming home tomorrow. I've been lonely and have missed her terribly at times, but have also been busy doing stuff. . . Soldiered on campaigning for Sam last Saturday afternoon. Went ice dancing Sunday morning and to the movies at night. Had a long visit with B and B -- B is the one with the brain tumor. He's doing okay. Then attended the Opening Night Party for the Steinkamp exhibit at the museum Tuesday night. Lunched with C en route through various area knitting stores including the pricy but inspiring Knitting Arts on Wednesday. Hung out with M and went swimming at the beach -- the water and air temps were just right, a rarity in Santa Cruz. Thursday night I was skankin' with T and all the other rudies at the English Beat concert in the park downtown -- we caught the City Hall funky art display afterwards.

There are some really cool exhibits around town this week for the Zero-One Festival, a worthy distraction from paying bills, doing the yardwork, and running the errands that never seem to go away! I will try to get downtown again maybe tomorrow to catch whatever else I can.

School is starting for J in a week and a half. I start the day after Labor Day, later because of the construction on campus this summer. It's been frustrating not to be able to get into my classroom like normal -- the end of August will be very intense for me.
