This movie is terrible
I could get these blog posts finished a lot faster if I didn’t have bad television on while I was writing. I’ll need to learn some focused discipline if I’m ever going to accomplish anything beyond my job. Speaking of my job, next week I’ll be in Olympia and at the Quinault Indian Reservation on the Olympic Peninsula for work, which will be the cause of many hilarious jokes between my Virginia coworkers and myself.
Today we realized that with a few upcoming weddings, we actually needed to plan some sort of time/money budget. It looks like we’ll be going to Chicago in December and Savannah in March. Well, Chris will be going to Chicago, since I’m already taking time off in December to go home for a few days. He hasn’t been back to Chicago in years, so I am excited for him. I was just there in August for a conference about poppy products, and I was indescribably happy to be back. In fact, I bought Chris the photograph below for his Birthday while there, done by Cesar Russ. We just got it back framed today. It’s of a place in Lincoln Park that we used to go to often, North Pond.

We’re both going to Savannah in March for Chris’s sister’s wedding, all things going well. We laughed when we looked up flights because it is quicker for us to get to Tokyo than to anywhere on the East Coast that isn’t New York or DC. Sometimes we forget how isolated we are; the tip of Maine is the same latitude as Portland, which means we are quite a bit north of that.
Which is why we have to package up the cats and send them to warmer, sunnier regions like California
The cats are indifferent to these future goings on, as they were not invited. They did have a fun romp in the picture packaging though.
What are you doing, Mom?
Mom? What is that?
Can I eat it? Camera?
Lee somehow lodged himself under a dresser today.
We have no idea how he fit under there
The terrible movie, by the way, is the Pirates of the Caribbean sequel.
