Herring Run

The herring are definitely running. So I went to the Brewster Grist Mill (along with every family with small children living on the outer cape) on this fine spring day. I parked myself at one of the waterfalls and shot 90 photos pointing that way. 18 of them managed to have a fish making a run for it. 1 of them anyone other than me would be able to actually see the fish. I just looked for so long I know what to look for.

It's starting to get real

The good news is I found a house while I was in Milwaukee last weekend. I made an offer, we did a little negotiating, and the offer has been accepted. So now it's down to things like the house inspection and the financing. Those are the common things to sink a deal at this point, but I'm not expecting trouble with either.

It's too cold for this

I went to the West Dennis beach for a sunset that you can really only get in the winter. There was someone out kite surfing. My fingers were numb just photographing the sunset, this guy was getting wet. I don't care how good your wetsuit is, the air temp was 32 degrees and very windy.

As they say on the internet, pics or it didn't happen.

Sunsets with Karen

Karen is visiting. Yay! We wandered around this afternoon where we were greeted by the Chatham Chamber of Commerce welcoming committee. Then later we went to Scargo Tower for sunset. We tried to go to the Scargo Cafe, but there was a long wait. So we went to the Marshside instead. An equally lovely meal.

Here's some photos:

A Little Louis

It's kind of nice to have job hunting be over and have not that much to talk about here for the time being. I mean I'm working on stuff. My class at Fitchburg is under way and going well. I've been poking at Enid's Wall, though that's been a bit more thinking than writing honestly. I've been looking for grants and such to apply to for the tern documentary, but unsuccessfully so far.

Honestly, I'm spending a lot of time on the rocker taking it easy as this is likely to be my last lazy semester for quite a while. Louis keeps me entertained.

A good start to the new year

At this point I think everyone knows, but just for the record: I have a job!!!!! I'm so glad that's resolved. The process of job hunting was very bad for my emotional and mental well being. And it's a job that I expect I will settle nicely into and enjoy. I may well never have to job hunt again. (I should probably change the name of my blog now.)

So to kick off the new year, yesterday I went on a hike with Katie and Brenda.

While everything is still possibility and happiness

I have survived the gauntlet of interviews between Thanksgiving and Finals. Here is the semester's end recap.
