Meghan and I went to a fundraiser dinner for the local botanical garden. Kind of fun to see how the other one percent lives.

On a light rail adventure today with the bambina, exploring the neighborhoods around several stations.

The bambina marched with the rest of the band at last night’s football game. It started late and went into overtime, so we all got up a little late this morning.

Not like I don’t have enough things to do, but I’m finally getting the itch to catch up on my commonplace book links. It’s been [checking calendar] over a year and a half since I last posted, and a lot has happened.

The bambina had her first day of school today. The dude slept in.
