rDay Four-Hundred-Seventy-Eight

Experiencing dogs.  Visiting the landscape-nursery place.  Walking downtown.  Seeing old colleagues, including Erik who has taken over the incredible project to programmatically pull data from an old unified data system and prepare it for inhalation by another totally alien system — a truly daunting project some of us imagined and visualized for years but did not have the courage (or time) to come to grips with it (see Erik’s chart below that illustrates about one-third of all the data tables and elements and their relationships in the old system).  Just looking around.

rDays 471 – 476

Pretty much the usual:  walking the dog, recycling, walking everywhere, Farmers Market, walking everywhere.  And discovering some new residents in a nest atop a shelf inside the deck.

rDay Four-Hundred-Sixty-Two

Despite the incessant, seemingly never-ending heat of the past four or so days, the time seems to vanish at ever-increasing rates.  Nevertheless, we managed early morning and evening walks in Ladd Marsh, around campus, and even one mid-morning solo trek for the entire length of Island Avenue.  A few conversations along the way, a few random sightings, everything mostly blurring together.
