Whirlwind
What happened to this week? It has included a lot of networking, career pondering and research, and work work work for me. A trip to DC on Monday, digging into a troubled project, and then attending an all-day off site management meeting yesterday were some highlights. It was fun, but now I’m truly exhausted. Even […]

Slinky’s got mad skills
While we were filing paperwork in the office, I thought I heard a singing or crying sound. Brian identified the source as Slinky in the fireplace room, and here’s what we found when we investigated. Slinky is a lot faster than he lets on. He let it almost get away a few times, only to […]

Glaciation
As many of you have heard the weather has been cold and snowy with enough warm days to cause some melt before refreezing at night. This has caused some spectacular icicles to form. Yes, they do reach from the roof to the ground (8+ feet.) At what point does a roof become a glacier, anyhow?

improvements in the commute
Monday’s commute was pretty good. Not too much traffic, a few snarls at merges, but I still made it in under an hour each way. Tuesday’s commute was better. I picked up Brian Hone – by driving over the Rte 1A bridge! It’s open! I forgot how much I enjoy that route to Ipswich. There […]

Juddmansee Favorites – yard and food
Evidently we are either not inspired these days, or nothing much is going on. A little of both, I think. We’re in autopilot for the most part, doing what we typically do, so it doesn’t seem noteworthy. When writer’s block hits, it’s time to return to our favorite topics. In our case, it’s the yard […]

Mid-fall update
It’s been a while since we’ve posted. Su has been busy with travel lately and I’ve managed to stay busy with volunteer activities and work around the house. I’ve managed to come up with a good 50% whole wheat bread recipe using olive oil and honey in the bread machine. I also made a tasty […]

Catching Up
So other than dinner, what is new anyway? Since our last post, here’s what we’ve been up to. Brian canned 7 quarts of fresh peaches, his first foray into home canning, with delicious results. FTSD’s awesome social chairs planned a kayaking trip to Hopkinton on August 22. The weather was gorgeous and it was hard […]

Speaking of Tasty Dinner
Today was a joint Juddmansee dinner effort, and it may be our new favorite. Our friends Asa and Jessica have a tradition of capturing “Great Meals at the Douglass Household” on film. I’m afraid our great meal is being devoured without pictorial evidence, but here’s the description: 1. make fresh Queso Blanco 2. roast fresh […]

Flowers in July
The flowers enjoyed our vacation, which coincided with a warm week of sunny weather and showers most afternoons in Newburyport. Brian staked the tomatoes and mowed the lawn, and snitched a couple snap peas as a reward for his work this week. We enjoyed our first fresh salads of the year. In addition to the […]

Central Air Part 2: installing ductwork
The contractors arrived bright and early today for their second day of exploration – I mean installation. I got up even earlier so I could dig up bulbs in the side yard. I didn’t want them to get covered by the condenser when it gets installed. (And for those early birds out there, yes there […]
