My mother-in-law made a pie with the sour cherry pie filling I️ put up back in June. Can’t wait for a slice.
Making plans for a family trip to the Republic of Vanuatu - where Erin and I️ served as U.S. Peace Corps volunteers - but realized this morning that we’ll be traveling during the World Cup. I️ remember watching taped games in 1998 in middle of village.
My brother and his daughters were in town, so we all went last night to see the film Wonder. Kids loved it. I teared up a few times. Good movie.
Big oak tree that towers over the house we purchased this summer.
Just catching on to the photo challenge activity here in Micro.blog. Some very cool photos. But where can I learn the day’s theme? Is theme announced somewhere?
Very much enjoying the Ear Hustle podcast about life in San Quentin prison.
Halloween 2017
Had to tune out the news and politics this morning. Headed to Gray Squirrel for coffee. Listened to Texas country by David Touchton. On way to work, cranked up the spry Ancient Airs and Dances – strings, oboe, flute, and bassoon – by Respighi.
Speaking at a conference in Dallas next Saturday, then driving to Austin to spend a couple of days with my brothers. Wonder if there’s a chance I can join @ryan on a run or buy @manton a cup of coffee to thank him for micro.blog.
Papaya with lime, so good. Eager to taste it again on Paama next summer. Just hot cell phone numbers for our family there, and will call tomorrow to begin planning for our trip.
A truck and a personalized plate to reference the single vehicle that was on Paama island during our time as Peace Corps Volunteers.
Little Anna now has a driver’s license. w00t
Spent a fabulous 24 hours on Manhattan. Much to write about on my long-form blog.
Whale cloud through the moon roof.
Baked a boule per Michael Ruhlman’s bread baking app.
Food-truck Cuban food, good Belgian-style beer, delicious peach pie, Texas rock-n-roll by a guitarist from Statesville, NC. Just another fun summer evening in Saxahapaw.
Minutes after posting a blog post about how much I love Cleveland, I get a parking ticket because I stupidly trusted the City parking lot attendee and parked in a loading zone to run into buy beer at Great Lakes Brewing. Let my guard down and I was played for 25 bucks.
Can’t get back into the U.S.A. because immigration and customs at Charlotte international airport doesn’t open until 1 p.m. This after our flight yesterday was canceled because plane needed new brakes.
95° in Chapel Hill. Another work day at the house, patio demolition and yard cleanup and more. Eager to live up here one day soon and enjoy the 4 acres of woods.
Back at my desk at Duke Dept of Medicine, after last week’s fun family reunion in Tennessee. Played soccer yesterday, had 2 toes broken. Won’t be able to take my daily walk across campus.
