October Festivities
It's been a while again. Things have been busy.
Much of last weekend was taken up by Honk!, we went to that in Davis Square on Saturday and Harvard Square on Sunday. Saw Sarah and Steven and baby Sam there, the "fancy tea in the park" group met up in the park at Davis on Saturday, and Sarah was walking Sam around the festival in her coloring-book dress (a whimsical bit of participatory fashion art that always makes me smile) on Sunday. Little Sam's walking around now, too. Definitely a lot of vicarious fun to see babies in that stage. So much to do!
We also happened across an early performance in Union Square Plaza Thursday night.
Sunday morning, I did some cooking: Mixed greens with feta, homemade salsa with heirloom tomatoes and a mix of roasted and pickled hot peppers, chili in the instant pot.
Later on Sunday, I dropped by the Vans store with Erica for some new shoes. Her current shoes still fit, so I thought I should try up a half size, but turns out that current pair had really stretched out and she was a full size up.
On Monday, we went to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum for a bit.
Today I had a dentist appointment mid-day for a cleaning. And had a solo-parenting evening, Julie was out late for some work event. All went smoothly.
A little further back: Last weekend Erica went to a friend's birthday party. The party venue ("Jump On In", with bouncy slides and whatnot) ran things very efficiently, the kids had a blast. And we did other weekend-y things? I assume. It seems so long ago.
Work is busy, lots of C++ template wrangling, and a mix of writing doc and trying to clean up the design I'm documenting.
There's a Magic: the Gathering sealed tournament for the latest set at the office for the first time in few years. Fun to play with some of my colleagues again.
