A melt

I am in a supreme mood this evening. My final projects are turned in. I already have two grades back, which show favorably for my effort this quarter. The sun is out. The snow is melting. It's warm and I'm feeling better about the world. Really, what I want more than anything, is to have a dear friend sitting across from me so we can chat. Oh, I am a world class chatter, and I feel the urge for some gossip, some back and forth, a little witty repartee or two. I tried bugging a couple of people on my drive home, but no luck. People are at work (or screening their calls).

I did talk for a second with a friend, who I get to see next week, and found out about some of the grad schools she got into. (So far I approve, because they all are places I'd like to visit.) She invited me on a possibly last-minute-whirlwind trip to North Carolina. I'm tempted, because I'd badly like to visit the beach, if only for a day. But I've got expensive travel plans this summer (partially involving her), so it will most likely not happen. It's nice to daydream about, though.

Besides my vague ramblings, I thought I'd post a couple photos from the weekend before the blizzard. Our previous melt. My mother and I went on a walk through Denison University's campus and around town. I'm a little in love with its observatory.

Congrats on making it through! i wish that I could sit across from you and chat now. Sadly, I'll have to settle for your name on the empty cube across from me. :-(

Enjoy the sunshine and the downtime!

Claire, it's National Pi Day!

Pi day.

Can we get an Ohio pie review?!!

I'd stop the world and melt with you :)

Besides, you always need a friend to help you chatter your way through a bottle of white wine. Although you seem to be fine just by yourself...

I'm glad the projects are done, even if it was PULLING TEETH to get them done. Sheesh.

Wish you were here to Goose my Maverick tonight. Boys, darts, and an Irish bar. Plenty of trouble to be had...

That song was just finished playing on the radio as I clicked over here. Very odd.

Claire- we're melting as well! Woo-hoo! The sun is out, it's nearing 60. I see a light at the end of winter's tunnel.

I missed you on Wednesday night. While I appreciated the free time, it did seem like something was missing.

I just noticed the time of Natasha's post. I wonder if she was also listening to WXRT...
