Completed tax returns

This itemizing thing isn't nearly as complicated as I was led to believe. Kind of like transubstantiation.

Leaves of Glass

M & I went to see the Chihuly. While there, we started designing the house that goes around the installations we'd commission from him if we ever had the money. Then we visited the statue of Yoda.

eta: As M points out in comments, I failed to mention our paying our respects to the Mantelpiece of Horror. We named the dogs Fluffy and Thurlow, and the dying boar Camilla. We did not name the pissed-off looking deer on top.

We have no visio.

Happy Solstice!

Today I went to see the pretty glass. [ooooh. aaaaaah.] What I really wanted to bring home was one of the paintings. They're sketches for glass works, really, but also fully realized paintings that would look good in my living room. Sadly, no prints were available. [deep sigh of frustrated acquisitveness.] While I was there I also visited the sculpture garden and the hanging wire in the base of the tower. [ooooh. aaaaaah.]

I had thought of going to Green Apple, but it was Too Darn Hot. I went home instead.
