Terri and I went on a record-buying rampage through Cambridge's many fine used vinyl shops this evening. We picked up albums by Robyn Hitchcock, Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller, Scriabin, Rosemary Clooney and Bing Crosby, Jack Teagarden, and Lester Young.

While I eat some Cocoa Blasts and write this, Terri is now typing things on Matt Shaw's typewriter, which is still sitting on our dining room table from when we were working on the flipbook project for Sarah & Michael.

I'm looking forward to the long weekend. It's Columbus Day, which is still celebrated in Boston.

The site improvements are coming along. I found some really nifty software to make photo galleries, whilch should make it way less time consuming to make our little photo albums. The photo albums it makes are nicer and easier to navigate, too. One of these days, all two of you who come to this site will come back to find it utterly transformed.

I'm reading many things simultaneously; The Decameron, one of Terri's college textbooks about Buddhism, and some stuff I bought in Portland (starting with some essays by Octavio Paz).

I spent some time at the Apple store at the Cambridgeside Galleria last night. I would love a schnazzy new G4. But I'm trying to be realistic, and ask myself what I would do with that that I can't do with my current computer. There's really very little. iCal and iPhoto are the best parts of it. But it's not like I'm so busy that I really need iCal, and it's not like we even have a digital camera that we'd even need iPhoto. Anyway, I'm trying to stick to my guns. I care more about software than hardware; I care more about what people actually do with software than the software itself. Which is what led me to find the schnazzy photo gallery software and inspire me to actually do work on the website.

So now it's October and the weather is still stinking hot--I hate it. Where's the Fall I love?? My hopes for snow for the holidays are looking rather dim. Maine, Canada, Minnesota, and Alaska are all looking good right about now.

I hope to maybe do some work on the website... possibly tonight... and anyway, soon. I swear, new stuff is coming!

We spent last weekend in Portland, Oregon for Sarah Braun and Michael Hamilton's wedding. It was stinking hot out there one day, too, but pretty nice. I like the houses there, and the landscape is pretty. This weekend we are headed to State College. I have a haircut scheduled and I am SO ready for a new 'do.

Well, back to work. Need to do a few more things before I get to leave.

Think FALL HARDER.

We're back!

I hope to do some more work on the site soon, so stay tuned and hopefully all the new stuff will be posted before too long.

Think FALL.

It's that time of year again! Terri (and even I) watched PSU clobber Nebraska last night; it's a nice change from the past couple of seasons.

In more important news, we capped off the end of the Anniversary Week™ festivities this evening by taking the top of our wedding cake out of the freezer. It still tastes pretty good, which was a pleasant surprise.

Hooray! I got Blogger working again. The Terri & Ezra Show website never quite recovered from the change from MediaOne to AT&T Broadband. It broke a lot of the images on the site, and AT&T has goofy restrictions on its FTP site that make it impossible for Blogger to log in. I was going to write my own weblogging software, but it just didn't seem quite worth the effort.

Anyhow, it comes as part of a renewed effort to get the Terri & Ezra Show back up again in honor of our first anniversary. Woo hoo!

Terri was sick again today. She didn't go to work. I keep telling her she has mono even though she doesn't have mono. I'm hoping she'll think "at least I don't have mono."

I came home, we went to Trader Joe's to buy gnocchi, and then I drew pictures of turtles while she edited Chapter 5 of the book she's working on.
