As seen on campus....

I hope they don't erase it.

Trying new things

Not sure I like it but it's worth trying once. Practice is manageable so far.

Jasper

I've never been able to get a slot to meet the library therapy dog and happened to have a conversation about it with Charles and the music librarian in the elevator yesterday. When I got into the office, the music librarian called me and told me that Jasper was in this morning for a photo shoot at the library. So I ran up, of course.

His legs are so long he doesn't know what to do with them. And he has his own library card.

Back to normal life

Mom was the last to leave and I dropped her off at the train station yesterday. Now it's recover from the trip and get back to the grind. It has not been a normal year here by any stretch. There's a sense of fatigue.

But I'm excited about the lessons God will be teaching me and how He will transform me.

Aquarium

I don't think I will go back after watching the dolphins swim in circles in a little tank. It was amazing to see how muscular and gracious they are up close. But I think God will hold us accountable for how we treat His creation.

No more.

(Shark, not dolphin but just as bad.)

I don't think I am a fan of soba noodles.

Mmmm

I'm glad mom wanted to sit at the first restaurant we saw because we got to try this yummy beef dish which I had never had before.
