Cooper Union Founders Day Dinner Dance

Posted on 4/16/2011 by kari| Leave a comment

It’s a mouthful of a name, but I had such a great time at the dinner dance. And I was honored to be named Young Alumnus of the Year! Such a nice fancy time on my birthday.

All he needed was the windows

Posted on 4/9/2011 by kari| 2 Comments

We found a new spot for Book today. Did a little strategic cleaning and shade-opening, and he discovered the way up to the windows. This ought to keep him busy for about 4 months…

Warmer weather!

Posted on 4/5/2011 by kari| Leave a comment

Spring is in the air – temperatures are in the 50s and 60s this week! It was clearly time to get out the knee socks. Thank you, vaguely permissive work environment and fuzzy dress standards for female engineers, for facilitating this look.

Our temporary kitty

Posted on 4/4/2011 by kari| Leave a comment

Our temporary kitty came out of hiding for some skritches today. Book is staying with us for 4 months while I Love To Do Dishes is traveling. He is sweet! Mike is a kitty whisperer. Also of note: how excited Book was to see us, and how he cautiously looked for little boys before committing to the room.

New mexican joint

Posted on 4/4/2011 by kari| Leave a comment

Despite his demeanor, Mike is actually quote happy to have discovered a new Mexican joint near our house.

And look: Mexican cokes, with real sugar!

UPDATE. This place is amazing. Not veg friendly – the beans are delicious and porky.

Eleven is home sick this week with the flu. I’m working from home tomorrow to hang out and he’s really sweet: “it’s too lonely being sick!”

home again and awfully tired after our brilliant trip away this weekend, and trying to decide if 30 deg. is too cold for a run in the AM.

Glenn Curtiss museum is a total A++. Good for airplane, motorcycle, and bike enthusiasts as well as big nerds. http://t.co/v4FKw5v

Second annual Empire State Anniversary Trip

Posted on 3/26/2011 by kari| Leave a comment

We headed out Friday afternoon towards Corning NY. It was later than we had planned because I had more work to do than I’d hoped, but we had a lovely drive out RT 17 to the west to our B&B.

Last year we came to Niagara Falls and it was lovely but so cold and rainy. Last year Mike was the one with too much work to do, and he wasn’t able to put it aside while we were gone, either.

This year we got a late start but I didn’t bring any work with me, it’s cold but it’s sunny outside, and Mike was horribly ill for about 4 hours straight (something he ate, maybe?) but he bounced up this morning and is feeling wonderful today. Yay!

For the record, I was fine. probably bc I had a good start with cereal, drank more tea, and ate fewer potato chips.

In general: things to know

Mike’s hair is at an awkward in-between length so he is wearing it in ponytails.

(and I love it!)
