another group of faces for a work project--with many of the usual suspects. fianz thinks it's funny that i keep putting kate in work projects--one of two future nieces i haven't met, yet!--and i think it's funny that there are now at least two state departments of education that have pictures of archie on important documents.



this one's for the binding of a series of binders going out to a training for the whole providence public school department, on bullying and harrassment, as well as suicide and self-harm prevention (and signs to watch for). really important stuff--particularly coming from a place where, when i was in junior high and high school, a lot of people didn't even talk about some of that stuff.

epic weekend.

the real thing :)

remember that time i started a blog, and then forgot it existed for a month?

i'm totally cheating and lying about when these updates happened, just FYI.

everything you know, from here on out, could be a lie. in terms of timing, anyway.

i could tell from the minute i woke up it was gonna be a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely day

my thoughts on packing

i do not loves it.

lazy saturday

riding dirty?

and here, dear reader, i depict for you: my ride to work, in picture form.


(to your right, you'll note the local jewish community center. straight ahead: hope high school.)


(oh, thayer street. you are so empty early in the am, when all the hipsters are still deeply involved in their eyeliner-clad REM cycles.)


(here, we are passing by bagel gourmet ole, coming upon east side pockets [not bad, but sub-par when you're used to international], and soon there after, shanghai, the site of many a kurt-visit-dinner)


(while we wait for this red light, i'd like to take the opportunity to introduce our copilots: buddha and bonkers. oh, excuse me, bonkers! should we give you some privacy while you do your business? ...ok.)


(on your left, you will find us passing by...oh, just some large brick building that's a part of brown. where i work. i work at brown. [this is very likely the admissions building, but don't quote me!])


(gasp! is that a real city building i see, off in the distance? stay tuned, we are fast approaching my favorite view of providence [something that, admittedly, changes QUITE frequently])


(almost there!)


(well, well! what have we, here? a real city? almost!)

ladies and gentlemen, this concludes the photo-tour of my drive to work...yes, i still have to drive about a mile, but that, we'll save for another time. hope you enjoyed your time with us! don't forget to tip the driver.

it seems such a waste of time, if that's what it's all about

the office

here's where i typically blog from:

OMG i got a camera!



so exciting! cioppa disagrees:



but oh well. i'm excited.
