Soup Sundays (read all 7 entries…)
Its been much too long 4 weeks ago

for soup. And for posting. But today is a Sunday of Sundays and there is split pea and ham soup bubbling away in my crock pot. Its a bit windy and cool and full of familiar autumn-ess. I can see a stripe of orange sun set over through the trees. A quiet day of work, catching up over the phone, building a new Picasa photo library, cooking over podcasts. I’m obsessed with Ingolrious Bastards after going to the movies last night and had to find Terry Gross’s interview with Tarantino.

Just booked a cabin 2 months ago

200! 2 months ago

Watching a woman learn to ride a bike in Red Sq.
Good conversation as class spilled into happy hour. Even if I did get a little carried away.
From my window on the bus, I smiled down on a book titled “How to Do Just About Anything” stashed in somebody’s rear dashboard.
