Peter S in London asks for more news about what we're doing here in the Sunnyside Offices. We wake at seven on most days because that's when the Beast wants to be washed and fed and entertained. At 9:20 there's a stroll through the neighborhood. At 10 there's a nap. Thomas heads to work at 9:22 or so most days. We were upstate last weekend, and were happy to get through the 3 hour bus ride without any major baby freak out. On Fridays we do "business". Usually this means going to the dentist or doctor or making business phone calls. This last Friday it was the dentist for Lisa of the Blog. Big filling, still throbbing, possible future root canal. Saturday we checked out the Sunnyside Farmers Market and bought corn, apples, potatoes, and tomatoes. Last night we had dinner at our favorite mid-town restaurant Rosa Mexicano because we're coming up upon our fifth anniversary (we like to celebrate it on September 11th, but we really got together a few days earlier than that way back in 2004 in sunny old London which we miss a whole lot right now as the weather gets crisper and we dream of taking the Beast to her homeland.) Today we're watching tennis on television, not that we understand or like tennis. As for Lisa of the blog, the first three year plan has ended. Our accomplishments were good enough: ran a marathon, quit academia, studied mushrooms and trees, had a baby, etc. Now, looking onward into the next three year plan there are other mountains to climb. On this round we'll finally get the Duncan biography into print, take the Beast to England and Italy for birthday number one (anniversary number six), and begin a new teaching venture: a six semester series of classes covering Basil Bunting's list of great writers: Homer, Ferdosi, Maucherhri, Dante, Hafez, Malherbe, Aneurin, Heledd, Wyatt, Spenser, Sidney, and Wordsworth. We'll also dig into our studies in Ornamental Horticulture at Farmingdale State College, and we'd like to run a marathon in Dublin or Tokyo. Next weekend we're up to the Mount Tremper Headquarters to get the wood burning stove cleaned in time for the winter fire season. Happy week to all the blog readers, and we'll be back soon. Peace.
