The heres and theres

So:
A week ago Friday we went to my niece’s high school graduation in New Hampshire. We drove there during the day, attended graduation in the evening, drove about an hour back in a Syracusewards direction to Lowell, Massachusetts where we had a hotel room reserved, spent the night, and returned home Saturday. My other sister [...]

May Day

Syracuse’s 29th May Day… had the usual Thornden, Hounds, Ribbonsteel, and Heartwood teams; had the not-yet-usual Wild Blue Morris; had unusual warmth, unusual wind, and a lack of rain until about five minutes after we finished in Thornden Park, said lack of rain resuming by the end of breakfast until late afternoon; had a very [...]

More misc mundane

Besides the Buffalo trip…
Kenny had last week off from school, but kind of a rough time. He’d come down with a virus in the middle of the week before; by last weekend he was pretty much over it, but was coughing a lot due presumably to postnasal drip, and sometimes he’d gag, and then… well. [...]

Antibiotics

I want to marry whoever invented antibiotics.
By Thursday I felt well enough to attend practice of the new-ish Syracuse morris team, which now has a name, Wild Blue Morris. I didn’t dance a lot. But by Saturday I was able to go to the one and only practice this year (so far, but probably for [...]

The mundane lately

Kenny got his first tip on his green belt yesterday. I guess it’s mathematically possible for him to get the second tip a month from now and then test for brown belt in April, though I’m guessing May — or perhaps even later — will be more likely. That’s out of the intermediate levels and [...]

May Day, so good it happened twice

Thursday, the real May Day. Pretty much the usual Syracuse May Day things happened, for better or worse. The new morris team, officially still nameless, made its debut. Griffin’s Corners Morris, for the first time since 2001 (when it didn’t exist) didn’t perform at Thornden Park, but did appear once later.
It was nice to be [...]

This time

Both the unnamed new Cotswold morris team in Syracuse and the Binghamton Morris Men are done with their practice schedule — well, pretty much. Both teams will run through some dances the night before their first upcoming public performances.
The new team’s learned three dances in the Ilmington style — the only three dances, according to [...]

For a guy who doesn’t get enough exercise, I sure feel like I’m getting too much exercise

[Edited for better reference to morris team -- 19 Apr 2006]
Friday lunchtime: another six laps walking around the Carrier Dome. (That doesn’t count the fact that, from or to the Physics building, you have to walk halfway around the Dome to get to or from the entrance.)
Friday evening: New morris team.
Saturday morning: Karate.
Saturday afternoon: Binghamton [...]

Miscellife

[Edited for better reference to morris team -- 19 Apr 2006]
The new morris team had its second practice last week, impeded a bit by the fact that Fred, who’s teaching, had badly sprained an ankle. On the other hand, we had two dancers more than at the first practice. It’s coming along okay.
Band was supposed [...]
