Well, it was the hottest August on record, which was a more than a little harsh for our first summer. On the hottest day, we had a flat tire leaving work.
We really like it here (even though we are planning a trip north for next August). People very friendly, affordable if anywhere can be for a grad student and a first-year postdoc. We have our favorite places to eat and a weekly happy hour with friends. Tuesday is our third wedding anniversary.
Have been busy, but things are going okay. Lots to learn, and never enough time in a day. Get the figets, start a new knitting project, don't finish. I'm on a quasi- yarn diet. Mostly it means I buy books.
Arthur is now 1 year old, and has been successfully toilet-trained. This picture is from just before he completed his training. You can see the last ring of the CitiKitty with litter in it. It really just gave him something to scratch at. Now, even that's gone and there's no more litter being tracked over our apartment.
This picture also shows off his beautiful markings.
I've just started an account over at Ravelry. I'm very excited about being able to queue projects that interest me and keep track of my stash. Sure, I could do it on a spreadsheet, but it's not as fun. It's linked here, so who knows where I will keep track of projects should I ever finish any. It's hard to get motivated to knit when it's 107 plus heat index.
