I'm trying to get back in the habit of posting a monthly recap here. The highlight of this month was attending CONvergence July 4-8 in Bloomington, MN. Kevin and I had never been to this con before, but the establishment over the past few years of Skepchick-sponsored skeptic and science-themed programming had caught our attention, and the long ( Read more... )

So, no trip reports were forthcoming this month, either about my most recent Galapagos cruise (photos) nor my earlier Mediterranean cruise (photos). Instead I racked up more mileage, first attending the second annual Women in Secularism conference in DC and having a lovely visit with gregmce and his partner, Charlie. The following weekend, Kevin and I ( Read more... )

Kevin and I just returned from another cruise, and I will report on it soon, but first I have some unfinished business to deal with. Our last cruise was in October 2011, and I never finished writing it up. Even when our friend and fellow traveler Naomi belatedly blogged about this trip, I still didn't get my act together. I will be referring to her ( Read more... )

I completely missed a month. The question is, will anyone notice?

I've been meaning to write something about my 13th consecutive trip to Gallifrey One. I'll try to get around to it before we leave on our next vacation later this month.

In the meantime, I've been having fun with the Flopcast show notes. Even if you have no interest in listening to ( Read more... )

I had all sorts of lofty ideas about posting more frequently in the new year, but here I am at the end of the month with only my usual summary ( Read more... )

This isn't really a year-end wrap up; I don't have the attention span for that. This will just be my usual summary of what I've done over the past month. I do hope to write more in the new year, however, starting with reviews of some of my favorite albums. Watch this space ( Read more... )

Last-minute update, as usual...

Kevin and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary on the 11th. That weekend there happened to be an opening of a new exhibition by Alex Ross at the Norman Rockwell Museum in western Massachusetts, so we drove out and spent the night after attending a lovely opening reception that included a tour of the exhibition ( Read more... )

Since my last update was in early September, I had intended to post again in early October. Best laid plans and all that...so now it's time to jump in the Wayback Machine and try to remember everything I've done since I last posted.

I saw three concerts in September, and all of them were all-female! Kevin, Kristen, and I went to see Dar Williams ( Read more... )

As I try to shake off the last of the con crud, here's my summary of activity for August, extending through Dragon*Con last weekend.

Kenny Loggins wasn't the only Footloose-themed performance we saw this Summer. Kevin had a surprise in store - a performance of Footloose: The Musical in good old Woonsocket, Rhode Island (where we saw Fame: The ( Read more... )

Almost missed my post for this month. I'm at Dragon*Con at the moment (literally, at this moment, watching a BSG panel) and will have lots to report when I get back!
