Stace and the girls came in town on Wednesday. I’ve enjoyed having breakfast with Jules each morning, playing with Alyssa (who suffers from UCBS, Unbeliveably Cute Baby Syndrome), and chatting it up with my sister, who’s doing a heck of a job with the two girls while Matt’s overseas helping the war effort.
Moms and pops come in town Sunday for Easter Dinner, where we’ll be foregoing the traditional ham for a family favorite spaghetti and spinach casserole.
I got my new studio mic in the mail yesterday… it looks so sweet. I need to buy a new mic stand, though, so I’m going to head over to a music store across the street from my work. Oddly, though I’ve worked within a few blocks of this store for nearly five years, I’ve never been inside.
Huyen and I have been slowly preparing for our upcoming trip to Chicago for a certain someone‘s wedding. We’re really looking forward to the trip and seeing Paul and Jeani again. I was in Chicago briefly when I was in sixth grade, but don’t remember much of it beyond Mrs. Levy’s Deli and the Sears Tower. We’ve been planning out a series of great veggie restaurants to try, hipster art places to visit, and music stores to hit up. I’ve also convinced Huyen to go with me to see Magic Sam’s grave. If that ain’t fun, I don’t know what is. We’ve been preparing a large archive of This American Life and other NPR features to listen to during the long drive. I also grabbed the full audio for the Fray Cafe. Good stuff.
That’s all from this side of town. What’s going on in your neck of the woods?
