- Spring and Summer went too fast.
- I adopted two kitties, Martha and Lola. Martha is Lola's mama.
- Sally and I went to see Ben Folds in concert. Excellent as always. Now, for one night only, Ben Folds Five will be putting on a show in Chapel Hill and we cannot go. Me, cause I work that night..Sally, well she shattered her right knee-cap a few weeks ago and really cannot get around that well. She fell at work almost 3 weeks ago. Had surgery to repair the knee-cap and tendon(s) which were cut by bone pieces from the break. Spent Saturday night and most of yesterday with her as a just in case but she can get along rather well, better than I think she gives herself credit for. She wears out easily so just getting ready to go somewhere really takes it out of her. She will not be able to drive for 2-3 months.
- Went to the wedding of two friends in Indiana in middle July. Drove out there, 9 hour trip or so. Got to see parts of the US I had never seen before. New iPod provided excellent soundtrack. I got lost immediately entering Bloomington but after an hour or so I knew my way around. Got to see Bloomington, IA and Indiana University campus. The campus is scattered with gardens, paths, and a creek right through the middle of campus. I think I may have seen 1/4 of the campus. Would like to go back to see it again someday. The wedding was very nice. A handbell choir performed which I really liked. The reception was cool with excellent food, excellent whisky, good music. I also got to geek out with fellow librarians about all things comic books, sci-fi, Buffy-verse and music. Pictures of my trip are on my flickr site. There is a link to it on the sidebar.
- New iPod was put through laundry this weekend at Sally's house. That is the second one I have washed at her house.
- Thinking about going to Ireland next Spring with group from where I work. Need to figure out if I can afford it. Hopefully Sally can go as well. If I do not go with the group, will still plan a trip to UK. Really want to see Scotland so planning more time in northern parts of UK.
- Am I back? I am not sure. I was looking for a picture of me from the beards post and read a bunch of my old posts and it got me nostalgic. We shall see.

back or not, I'm glad to know what you've been up to. Who is Sally?
Sally is a close friend I have known since our college and grad school days, I guess 14-15 years now. I wrote about at least one of her birthday dinner a few years back.
You're back... admit it... you've missed us! lol
yeah in some ways hehe. but I did keep going to all of your blogs. We shall see how much I actually post.
1. my best friend, MJ, is a major ben folds fan. she went to the concert in chapel hill. sold out show. she said it was great. i was going to go, but it sold out so fast, she could only get one ticket! but it would have been wasted anyway -- i have never even heard his music!
2. you got to see the greatest college campus in the country!!!! i spent only 4 short years in that wonderful, extremely fun town. talk about nostalgic! i miss college. :/ GO BIG RED!!!! WOOT!!!
3. CN and I are talking about starting to save up for an Ireland/Scotland trip. We are both Scottish and i am also irish. i've heard England is fun, but i'd rather go to ireland.
Virginia - I went to college with the bass player for Ben Folds Five. His girlfriend at the time told me about them and I have been a fan ever since. Would have loved to have seen the show last Thursday so I am hoping that it will not be a one time thing. Yeah, tickets sold out in 3 minutes.
I forgot you went to IU. I really want to go back there and see the whole campus and during a time when it is not 100 degrees.
After recently seeing some pictures of Wales, I now want to go there as well.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN??
Random - I quit blogging back in the Spring.
