Missing church again

I am sitting here on the couch, missing church again. All of us woke up too late to get going in time. Sigh. That says something, I suppose, about the general state of my faith walk.

On the positive side, we had a good time visiting with my brother Dan in Milwaukee yesterday.  We went to California Pizza Kitchen for lunch — the first time I’ve ever eaten there. I really enjoyed a — get this — pear and gorgonzola pizza.  It was delicious!  The rest of the afternoon was spent sitting idly and/or napping (one of my favorite pasttimes), and then I went to a nearby Pick ‘n Save to buy roast chicken, salad, challah bread and other stuff for a nice supper.  We got home around 8:30p.

A quick trip to beautiful Milwaukee

My brother, Dan, moved to Milwaukee a few days ago and started a new job there. He rented a nice house and invited us to come up and see it today. So we did.  It was a beautiful day, nearly perfect weather.  Most people who aren’t familiar with it think Milwaukee is a grimy, industrial-type of city. It used to be like that, I think, but these days it is really beautiful in places, especially along the lakefront.  We loved Dan’s place and we also enjoyed eating lunch together at a nearby Mongolian barbeque restaurant.  See a photo album of the trip here.

Can’t wait to go to NASIG

In a few short days I depart for the NASIG annual conference in Milwaukee, WI. I can’t wait. The upside: I get to spend lots of time with many of my closest friends and professional colleagues in a wonderfully relaxed, yet stimulating, conference environment. The downside: My family won’t be there with me :-(

NASIG is simply the best library organization there is, and it puts on the best conference you’ll ever experience! If you want to know more about NASIG, including how to become a member, click here.
