Plug, plug, plugging along. Keeping up with the days.

I am pretty sleepy now.  Coffee alone isn’t quite cutting it.  More bars last night.  I got some rad photos last night from some of the bars that we went to but I got kind of grumpy because my foot has been bothering me and I got tired.  It’s still snowing here and there, lots of dirty, grity snow all over.  Today Kate, myself and her mom are going to a yarn store and we’re going shopping again, more and more shopping.  More later, I am pretty distracted right now.   Movies, we watched The American Gangster.     

Natspil: a bar

Here are some photos from last night.  We went to a great bar, Natspil.  Here are some photos:   I also got a new camera!  It’s from lomography and you can set two speeds and it takes four photos one right after the other.  Either 4 within 2 seconds or .2 seconds or something. It’s cool. 

Madison, from the beginning!

Madison in the morning is beautiful.  The snow is piled high and my nose is getting stuffy from the beer that Kate and I are drinking inside.  Shoveling snow for me is exciting as it is not always a necessity, hence my enthusiasm last night when we went out for a smoke.  The deck, walk to the garden, path along the house and the front walk way were inches clear of snow.  Kate and I talked and caught up from about 9:45 when the bus rolled into town until about I would say 2 or 3-am.  I can’t believe that it took me so long to get out here to see her.  I would like to make at least a yearly trip or maybe split to cost to help one another to come in one direction once a year.  We might get some rubber boots for me today to deal with the drifts, yet one more thing to send home.  I have taken hundreds of photos already and unfortunately found a roll of film destroyed, ah well, more soon.  I just need to figure out how to upload the pictures.   I slept in till 11, what a waste, so we are off to a late start but more later.  I’ll fill you in on Milwaukee soon, I got a little misty about leaving.  It went so so fast and everyone out there was amazing, shout out to the Alterra crew and friends, you rock!
