Today at 5 p.m. was the first time I’ve left my building since Wednesday.

I did go down to the lobby on Friday to get the mail—Susie did it for us on Thursday.

On Friday, we launched a H-U-G-E project that we’ve been working on for a year.  I’ll have much more to say about it on the Hop Studios blog on Monday, but for now, you can check out www.j-learning.org and marvel at all that it is.

Why did we go out today?  Well,m some friends were doing a gi-normous run to IKEA to buy new stuff for their new apartment, and we thought it would be fun to go shopping there without any particular need th fill—which means no particular piece of expensive furniture to bicker or hem and haw over.

We ate at the Ikea cafe, which is so cheap and so good—OK, not THAT good, but really cheap.

My sister Virginia’s coming into town real soon, to stay for a couple days.  I’m looking forward to it.

Did I mention how nice it is to be blogging again?

Overheard

“I swore with my hand on the Bible to uphold the Constitution. I didn’t swear with my hand on the Constitution to uphold the Bible.”

...who said it?

“Buy anything you want at the grocery store; cooking is always cheaper than eating out.”

...who said it?

“There are two things in this world that take no skill: 1. Spending other people’s money and 2. Dismissing an idea.”

...who said it?

“Violence is a choice a man makes and he alone is responsible for it.”

...who said it?

“Oh boy! Another great opportunity for personal growth!”

...who said it?
