The well

Not “personal stuff” like “bad news” or “terrible confessions”; just some stuff that I wanted to mention that isn’t really about libraries and is more about me and my family.

• My younger son, Nicholas, turned two years old on Friday. Happy birthday, Nick!
• I have gone a little nuts for model rockets lately (photographic evidence). I have been looking at cardstock model rockets, too, and might try this V-2 some time soon. If I am especially motivated, I might even try to modify it into something I could actually launch, like this guy did.
• Not coincidentally, my newest favorite blog is GeekDad
• Luke and I went to Casa Bonita the semi-legendary Denver restaurant/tourist trap on Thursday. It was a blast. (photographic evidence). If Casa Bonita sounds familiar to you and you aren’t sure why, perhaps you saw the South Park episode? The photo above is of us looking into the haunted well. Luke inherited my nostrils.
• I’m scaling back on my feeds, having dumped about half of them into a folder called “Deleted” that is set to never update. I expect I’ll re-subscribe to many of those feeds some day, but for now, I have about fifty feeds still subscribed. Which is probably enough.
• Similarly, I deleted my Twitter account a week or so ago. I suspect I’ll return someday, but it was too easily distracting, and led to me thinking far too much about what I should post to Twitter and how.
• I’m thinking of considering this week a “be kind to the blog” week, wherein I do a lot of the cleanup I have been meaning to do for months now. We’ll see how I do on that one.
