a nice weekend
It’s been a nice weekend. Kate came up to visit, and I dragged her to see “Rock of Ages”, a film which she had no particular desire to see.

We told ourselves to be more careful about our phrasing in the future, and then we left Alaska for Ireland, leaving Emily behind. She’s still there, and is…
