Mark and I drove into St. Paul to help set-up the Capitol Camp-Out action on the lawn of the State Capitol.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We helped set up the sound system, then transferred to pitching tents, ones with which we had no prior experience.\u00a0 That was fun.\u00a0 How do these things work?\u00a0 This cross piece bends and goes there.\u00a0 Nope.\u00a0 Over there.\u00a0 Sigh.\u00a0 To make things more challenging the tents could not have stakes, State Capitol grounds rules.\u00a0 When Mark and I left, the area had begun to fill up already with tents.<\/p>\n
After that we toured St. Paul, Rice Park, Irvine Park, Summit Avenue in particular.\u00a0 Mark took over the wheel when we finished with Summit Avenue and drove us home, preparing himself for his driver’s license test.\u00a0 He can’t do that until he gets a piece of paper from California confirming his previous license there some 20 + years ago.<\/p>\n
Kate spent the morning entering contacts into her new IPad2.\u00a0 She’s already learned how to play several games.\u00a0 She has a definite solitaire jones, playing with care and precision, the same way she quilts.<\/p>\n
Last night, still working out my new schedule, I spent an hour or so throwing out magazines.\u00a0 Yes, I know.\u00a0 I keep saving them for that mythical moment of return, which, I’m finally admitting, just never occurs.\u00a0 Wired, Scientific American, Economist, Sierra Club, Philosophy Now, Dissent, Parabola, Orion.\u00a0 I love magazines.\u00a0 And don’t like to part with them.\u00a0 Until now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
