My docent class is on a 5 day jaunt to Chicago. \u00a0Were it not for Kona’s vet visits, I’d be there, too. \u00a0This is a full week now since I sent in my resignation to the MIA. \u00a0Nada. \u00a0Silence. \u00a0Nothing. \u00a012 years. \u00a0Almost as weird as the weather. \u00a0It’s like the Institute has organizational autism.<\/p>\n
It’s been a full day with work outside and inside, a quiet evening reading.<\/p>\n
Though I can see that the chained mornings and the Latin in the mid-afternoons is very productive, I’m also seeing a desire in myself to get out more. \u00a0Kate had to sort of drop kick me into it, but now that she has I realize the path I’ve chosen will increasingly isolate me and us, if we’re not very intentional about getting out.<\/p>\n
To that end I signed up us for a fund raiser for CSA Roots, apparently the former Community Design Center with which I did a lot of work in the late 70’s and early 80’s. \u00a0This fund-raiser features a hand-crafted, all locally sourced meal at the Heartland Restaurant across from the former site of the St. Paul Farmer’s Market. \u00a0Appropriately enough the dinner is on June 21st, the Summer Solstice.<\/p>\n
We’re also planning a trip into the American Swedish Institute this week to see the Sami exhibition and eat at the Institutes new restaurant. \u00a0Hmmm. \u00a0Do most of our activities involve food? \u00a0Which by the way is ok since I’ve lost at least 14 pounds on this lower carb diet in addition to increasing the nutrient load of my food consumption and, the point of it, lowering my blood sugar well below levels of concern.<\/p>\n
