stormdogI'm in touch with a few people at Penn State University, and it sounds like I'll be doing a campus visit with the geography department while I'm there. I'll meet a few faculty members and a couple of grad students. One of the students attended my current school, and the other has an undergrad in anthropology, so I think we'll have a lot to talk about! This is making me feel really positive about the upcoming trip. It may even, it feels, be worth missing Engineer's Day at the Soo Locks again!
So, let's see. What I did this weekend.
I spent much of Friday and Saturday working on Lisa's laptop at her place. I started a round of updates in the morning, then the two of us went out to get some lunch at a Polish buffet. It was disappointing to me, just because there was no lunch price on Saturday, and there was only one kind of non-dessert pirogi. Oh well; someday I hope to find another Polish buffet as good as the one that used to be by Posi's place. After lunch, we dropped in at American Science and Surplus, where I got some zip ties and cable organizers. Finally, we visited a big Korean market, then went back home where her computer needed a reboot and a fresh round of Windows updates. At least it seems to be running in a mostly stable way, finally.
Posi had organized a photography meet on Saturday, but but I'd been up 'till 2 working on the computer, there was still more to do, and I was too tired to feel like tromping around. I feel bad for having missed it though; hopefully I can make the next one.
After setting up my surround amp at Danae's place Saturday evening and watching...something I forget but I think I enjoyed, I drove up to Grayslake on Sunday morning for Posi's tea in the park. It was nice seeing he and Tybis, and Brownkitty too, with whom I think it's been a year or so. I hope we do more of those over the summer, and cookouts and things too!
