Where’ve you been? Whatcha do?

• I voted in the primary
• I decided to take the train to NYC for the Take This Job and Love It event.
• I looked around and found there was a bare AAA discount and threw that in as I made my reservation.
• I printed out all the paper tickets and stuck them into a folder
• Had lunch
• Did a load of wash
• Getting ready for night three of Der Ring des Nibelungen – promises to be as long as last night..
• etc etc etc

Mom gave me this little volume tonight. I haven’t found a lot about it other than that similar collections were published in different countries and for quite a number of years. This might have been one of three volumes in a set.

I’m holding back the tissue separator so you can see both the engraving of the author and the facing title page. It has a number of -no surprise- very long poems including The Lady of the Lake.

when we’re geeking out
they can dangle shiny things
and we will swallow.

While I am eating
I am watching the liveblog
and feeling geeky.

Oh, technology!
We’re slaves to your shininess!
May we have the new?

eating my lunch and geeking out, watching the Apple event via live-blogging. Aren’t you glad I’m not there? I type pretty quickly.

Bento lunch with tomatoes from Mike and Peg’s garden. Thanks!
