More meetings! I like how I carried the curved lines through different sections.
In this one, I was shading the same tangle in different ways.
I can also tell that the above is a homemade tile. Bit of a cutting error at the top.
Here’s another one with same tangle, different shading. More successful, I think.
I enjoyed Matt’s birthday meal at Arden so much that we went back for my birthday celebration.
As with Matt’s celebration, we had the prix fixe menu. As with Matt’s celebration, the dinner ended with cheesecake and sorbet. Delicious!
Our TV has been advertising daily trivia in their main menu, but it only intermittently gives us access. Very weird. It’s 10 questions, and they aren’t hard, but the most I had correctly answered was 9, either by myself or with Matt.
But tonight we finally got 10 out of 10 questions! I was a little disappointed to see that the congratulations screen is just the same as for 9 out of 10 correct.
They could have thrown in some fireworks or something.
This is much larger than real life, it’s the artist trading card size. I did it during a long meeting at work. Also, I have glasses now, and still this is out of focus! Grrr.
I asked Matt if he wanted to do a fun advent project, the Advent of Tess, where we fold Origami Tessellations every day. Matt said yes, I’ve been going through the Foundations course. It’s kind of a lot, complicated by the fact that I’ve been using brown kraft paper, which I first must cut to size.
But here I have completed one of the first foundations projects, an example of pleat reordering. I had to have Matt help me, but I got it done. This is a 32×32 grid, which is a lot to fold before you even get to the pleat reordering.
I messed up in the middle; the horizontal middle band is supposed to be 2 grids, not three, but other than that, I did it. Onto the next thing.
Me walking back from the library:
Oh, they’ve still got their Harris/Walz sign up. I wonder when they will take it down?
Oh, it’s the one that says, “We’re not going back.”
Me after reading the sign: A bark of rueful laughter.
I’m a sucker for a harmonica and some wistful lyrics.
Another postcard from the historic Albany, Oregon, site! But posted from Arcata, California.
Sara reports that Shawn is volunteering at the elections office from Saturday through Tuesday and that she is enjoying a quiet house.
My Google timeline dutifully reported my visit to Boise and surrounding towns.
But what’s this? Parma is some patchy grass near a fence? You can do better, Parma. At the very least you could have a picture of Parma Furniture.
AAAAAArrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!!
I did my part, but I’m feeling worried…
