magidTraffic around Harvard this week is likely to be somewhat nutty, with Harvard's graduation Thursday (and other events starting Tuesday). The Yard is already changing, with a sea of thousands of folding chairs, a variety of tents, banners with a variety of coats of arms on them, and even a gazebo.
(Must remember to change my usual walk Thursday morning; the Yard will be closed off then.)
The tree chair around the corner from my house is now gone. Alas. I wonder if whoever made them is still making new ones?
The porch is getting closer to ready for summer. Yesterday I transplanted almost everything (including the huge lavender, which turned out to have been root bound). I think I want to grow some more flowers this year, and I still need to rearrange it all. I finally realized that I could put the bushier plants in front of the windows to keep the kitchen a little cooler (it only took what, a decade?). At some point I'll probably list what's growing, once I've gotten it in better shape. Oh, and though it sounds cool, I wasn't up for experimenting with growing tomatoes upside down. Maybe next year.
My lower back is sore. The only reason I can think of is schlepping bags of potting soil and compost up to the apartment, but even the compost was lighter than a bag of flour (40 lb), so I'm not sure that's it. I hope it normalizes soon.
Farm share starts next week! (I shall have to figure out what I want to do with Boston Organics then, switching to a smaller box, getting fruit, perhaps.)
My boss just told me there's a nice production of Love's Labour's Lost at Zero Arrow Street, Tuesday and Wednesday. I haven't seen that one yet...
It is much easier to use a mitt catching a ball in a plane, rather than in space.
The first photo I've had published is on the front page of the spring 2005 newsletter of the New England Hemophilia Association (available as a largish PDF), a portrait of the author (Nope, no official photo credit. But it's still pleasing.). Just for the record, her son was having a hard time that afternoon; it turned out he was starting a high fever while we were trying to get a nice photo. Better luck next time :-).

Date: 2005-06-06 09:06 am (UTC)Yeah, I noticed the comma issue, too. And there's another one later, as well. I left her a message offering to copyedit, if the newsletter doesn't have someone doing that.
OK, and it's obviously their style to hyphenate words, but there's a lot of it, which I find makes it harder to read.
