Sad News
I was running some errands this morning, and walked to where we parked our car. On my way there, I found the lost kitten from last night. He was in the road, and didn’t make it.

Lost Kitten
As we were driving around tonight looking for a parking spot, Liz put her hand on my shoulder and said “What is that?”. There was a small shape in the road ahead, and at first I thought it might be a rat. But we both quickly realized it was a really small kitten.
Halloween in Hyde Park, 2022: Plinko Board
We had a blast, watching kids step up and try to “win” their candy. I think the most memorable moments for us were when the kids tried to unsuccessfully play the game (we had several kids just throw the pucks at the board, head-on).
Signs of Halloween
Went outside today, and was delighted to see this fun bit of Halloween decoration up already. We’ve got some new neighbors in the building next door, and I’m fairly certain this was by them.
Picnic at Promontory Point
Liz and I had a very quiet and sedentary morning today. But decided to get out of the house in the late afternoon, for a picnic over at Promnotory Point.
Staycation in Hyde Park
We opted to take some days off this week, with the express purpose of… well, of not doing anything at all. No housework, no errands, just anything that gave us a bit of calm and relaxation. Because for both of us, we’ve felt a little stretched.
Today, we just ambled around the neighborhood. And that kind of pace was just right for us.
Walking Around Hyde Park
Today Liz and I decided to have another slow day, where we ambled around our neighborhood a bit more. Despite our working from home since the Pandemic started, we’ve really not been “out and about” in our neighborhood very much. Lately, we’ve wanted to change that.
A Slow Day
Much later in the evening, Liz described today as “a slow day.” And I think that’s pretty spot on. We didn’t rush anywhere, we didn’t need to worry about work. We just casually went about things at our own place.
A Momentary Danger
Each time that shuttle bus would come by, it would likely hit this dangling branch… increasing the chance that it’d come down (either on the shuttle, or on some of the parked cars nearby).
Bold Bunny
When I started to follow him, he paused and looked back. Almost as if chiding me for not keeping up.
The Helicopter Hallucination
Now, I’m no veteran. I’ve had zero military experience. But I understand enough about helicopters to know that they’re loud. That even far away, far up in the sky… helicopters are loud.
This thing… was not.
A Walk Around Campus
Liz and I had a slow, easy morning planned this Sunday. We had an early breakfast at Plein Air Cafe, and then decided to take a stroll around the University of Chicago campus.
Broken Meter
On our way, we spotted this broken parking meter – splayed out on the sidewalk. I’m not exactly sure what happened, but something serious and big must have caused that bend, at its base.
Tornado Warning
As I was checking my phone, Liz kept busy picking up here and there. Her comment was “I guess I’m going to die organizing.”
Smelling the Roses
After work today, Liz and I went for a short walk. There had been rain, we had a little time to kill before needing to make dinner for the bunnies… and we’re altogether way too sedentary. So walk it was.
