A Finished Product

Anne — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 03:29:01 +0000

While normally I’m pretty good about finishing projects that I start, my knitting projects seem to suffer the most from lack of sustaining enthusiasm. This sweater took me 8 months or so to complete, but I would argue that no one can be expected to knit wool sweaters in the summer so those months don’t really count.

At any rate, Rufus’ mom is a Princeton grad and her birthday was just before Halloween so I finished this up for a well-timed and coordinated gift. Apparently it’s getting rave reviews at the office.

Cheddar likes the Gap, Inc. brands too.

Keeping Me Company

Cheddar likes to sleep on my desk and keep me company when I’m sitting here reading blogs, listening to music, and writing this blog (which apparently, I don’t really do much anymore).

Club 8 – In The Morning

I could listen to this track all day… at least for a few days. The rest of the album is quite good, as well. Simple, sweet, wistful Scandinavian pop.

Welcome

Introducing the newest member of the Cloudman clan, Cheddar. He is approximately four months old, and so far enjoys: pouncing on my head at four AM, clawing at my new FLOR tiles, and purring nonstop. I decided being the only vet in New York City without a pet was starting to seem like that hairdresser with a bad haircut…. you just had to wonder.

Signage

I was in Darien for a memorial service on Saturday and captured these images for my ongoing street sign project.

Wildcat Road (1991-1998)

Tulip Tree Lane (1984-1987)

My visits to Darien are always replete with nostalgia and this trip was no exception. We celebrated the life of a great man and father and then made the most of our unanticipated reunion. I feel older, but not necessarily in a bad way.

Stamps

I found a mishmash of assorted stamps when I was unpacking recently and have since taken to employing unusual combinations on my mailed items. I like to think that people like my landlord notice when my envelope shows up with a classic 1990 style 29 cent stamp combined with a 2000 era 20 cent postcard stamp. Or that Banana Republic appreciates that my bill payment comes bearing a 5 cent Luis Munoz Marin stamp instead of the typical 2 cent add-on. Do they though? Probably not.

I registered for my five year college reunion today. FIVE YEARS. Oddly, I’m quite looking forward to some debauchery in the Hanover wilderness again.

Workplace Hazard

Sometimes the work itself is the hazard. This kitty didn’t want to play along with physical exam. Climbing the walls, he was.
