My phone battery died before the actual meetup started, partly because of some entertaining all-day e-mail exchanges. So enjoy random things that I thought needed to have pictures taken of them over the course of the day while I was traveling down to New York, and looking for sweaters.
Don’t ask. I need sweaters.
I like my visual week in review posts, but I haven’t done one in a while. So now that I’ve located an SD card reader and finally transferred things over, here are all of my camera phone pictures since mid-September, instead!
Included adventures are dog-sitting, an ill-fated trip to New York City, a night out in …

My Dad is back, and commenting on the high speed rail proposal and the current state of Amtrak. He took a train from Albany to Syracuse after bringing my new car to me, and loved it. Mostly because he had more or less a private train car.
The B’ville Diner is a regular old diner located in my hometown of Baldwinsville, New York. It’s one of those places that you just sort of take for granted. It had a big remodel in the early ‘90s, I think, and it became less of a dive and more of a place where you’d actually …
As an experiment and as an incredibly tiny energy-saving measure, I decided to take a bus from work to the mechanic where I dropped off my car this morning. I had a ride to work from the garage, which made my life much easier since I didn’t seem to wake up until a few hours …
AJ and I met up after work today. We had two hours to make it about thirty miles away from Albany to the speedway where the monster truck rally was being held. (What, you thought I was kidding? We’ve both always wanted to go to one.)
We missed the Thruway exit while having a spirited …
The American Library Association annual conference is going on now, in Anaheim. The cost of airfare to California and my current financial situation mean that I’m not able to go, and unless I have something specific to attend for and a track, I’m not sure I can handle the onslaught of things to do …
I’ve been kicking around the idea of going to one of the ALA conferences this year. More likely Midwinter since it’s in Philadelphia. I could drive there as opposed to flying and…renting a car, as well as staying in a hotel, like I’d have to do at Annual in Anaheim, which has the advantage of …

Silly French reporter. Kennebunkport is in Maine! That’s, like, a WHOLE OTHER STATE!
The close of this entry amused me so much, I just had to translate it out. The entry is about how the French president is taking a vacation this year on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire.
One of the …
This past week of driving to Troy every day has made me realize that I never, never want to have a job with a long highway commute again, unless I’m working second shift or otherwise odd hours so I don’t have to deal with traffic. Our highway traffic here isn’t that bad, in the …
