left the house to go to the post office, took my rear wheels from the touring bike to turin to discuss my options with joe (more about the bike later), and got food for seth and akiko, across the street from turin.
home, seth and i walked around the block, up to the park, etc. he wore his new coat.
back home, i fed the animals, and took off. stopped at TBM to unload various new prints from the car, stopped at ocho's et to get him some new food, then headed down to the filed museum, where i arrived at 5pm.
met di inside, and we went back up to her work space so she could finish mounting a red-breasted nuthatch.
we went down to the volunteer appreciation party at the museum, which was pretty great. great food (including sweet potato fries). the hawaiian band who played were way too loud, i couldn't hear anything.
we talked to sue demel's husband, scott, for a while, and saw di's mentor, dave, as we were leaving to go back upstairs. di and i sat n front of a display of meteorites, and i was surprised about how long i talked to her about meteors, asteroids, the planets, comets, why pluto was de-classified last year, what the plane of the ecliptic is, how planets are formed, etc.
back to di's workspace to et our coats, we ran into dave again, and he walked out with us. di went to her car in the volunteer lot, and dave and i walked out to soldier field, where we had both parked.
i drove home on 94, and di was already home, having taken lake shore drive. di was separating two fighting tomcats in the alley when i arrived.
looked longingly at my bike for a while, then decided to get an hour of painting in. primed the trim on one of the windows and one of the doors in the den. this room will look good, and needs to be finished asap.
typing now, falling asleep.
