Any time I have a problem while working at the Circulation Desk I call the “Library Telephone Center.” There is always a friendly voice on the other end who patiently helps me through updating patron records or fixing multiple records. They can also be contacted to renew books. To me, the Phone [...]

we should have fondue more often, you look great eating it!

Went to The Melting Pot in Madison at the suggestion of a friend for fondue with Stephanie and Karen. The three of us are here on a mini-vacation and using the weekend to get away from wedding planning, work, and the knowledge that soon our lives will be shifted to even greater degrees as [...]

no shame no gain

There is this crazy thing about running.  All that constant movement greatly increases flatulence.  And you can’t hold it in because that strength is greatly needed elsewhere.  This isn’t so much a problem because I always run alone and usually early in the morning so the likelihood of anyone caring is minimal.  However, with [...]

It’s official.  My life is progressing.
Sandy and I signed the lease yesterday (after the most arduous process) and I have a job.  In two weeks I’ll be moving closer to Chicago and in a month I’ll be starting an assistantship at the library where I’ll be attending school.

A bit frightened at the sincerity of her question I struggled for an answer.  But then it came to me.  It is something I’d thought about a hundred times over.

During my run, the longest I’d ever gone on a weekday, I stopped to [...]

your call

I was busy watching the lone episode of American Idol I have ever seen in an attempt to be social and make the most of my visit.  It was not until I excused myself and lay upon the lonely bottom bunk of a bed somewhere in Brooklyn that I realized I’d missed your call.  “Hi.  [...]

run’n on

My run took me on an unexpected route this morning.  Going past the signal tower at the far south-west corner of campus always makes me think of death.  Not my own.  Just in general.  In the fall a student mysteriously fell from the tower.  Of course, even if they did find out why he was [...]
