I posted some pictures from Matt’s graduation and the rest of the weekend. They came out pretty well… Enjoy.
What's been on my mind lately? Read on...
My brother graduated this weekend – congrats! The commencement address, given by Tony Kushner, was stellar. As soon as I find it online, I’ll post it here…
Mike C. (from work) is gonna sell me his bandsaw & drill press – more toys! It’ll be nice not to have to use a hand saw to cut through aluminum & steel stock anymore.
Anna & I did some trash scrounging last night ’cause all the Tufts kids moved out this week. We found (and claimed):
- A sweet, old-school, orange scooter (the “Curb Cruiser”). (Anna’s)
- A nice hubcap. (Mine)
- A red vase. (Anna’s)
- A basket. (Anna’s)
- An old printer. (Mine)
- A pane of glass. (Anna’s)
- Some awesome shelves made of copper pipe & threaded rod. (Mine)
- A ceramic flower pot. (Anna’s)
- Some bicycle handlebars. (Mine)
Definitely a good pull.
I came very close to saying to the man standing and taking up the full width of the escalator in the T this morning “Move aside, Pokey McBusinessCasual.” As the day progresses, I’m more and more disappointed that I didn’t.
Tonight, Love Child will be playing the team of which we used to be a part (they’re now known as Kodama Disc). Thankfully, there’s a barbeque after the game with beer – I imagine it’ll be on the tense side.
Check out the Robot Store for all your robot needs. Whatever they may be. Yeah.
Graduations abound as Ben finished the College Student Personnel program at Miami University in Ohio and Tova got her Masters in Expressive Therapy at Lesley University.
Craft day was fun yesterday, albeit not so well attended. I spent most of the time taking apart an old Epson dot-matrix printer – I salvaged quite a few gears/springs/small parts as well as a hefty power supply, several stepper motors (how do I drive them? Help!) and a nice looking solenoid. I’m sure they’ll come in handy sometime…
Off to Matt’s graduation this weekend. It’ll be nice to have him in Boston, starting in July…
