My God, September and October were beautiful. If we’re lucky, the rest of Fall, and Winter, will be mild enough to counteract the FIFTY PERCENT PRICE INCREASE projected by Madison Gas & Electric. Yeepers. We’re probably going to raise the rent at our housing co-op to cover costs. Looks like that solar hot water system and solar electric system we installed are going to pay for themselves even sooner than was projected.
I just attended the lovely wedding of old co-op friend Enid & her man, Erik, officiated by another old co-op friend, Rabbi Laurie. It was held at the Madison Masonic Center (just around the corner!), an imposing structure I’d oft passed but never entered. It’s pretty dang huge, and there’s all these well-appointed sitting rooms. Oh, and there’s a library/museum! Now I want to go back so I can check that out. In attendance were several other current and ex- co-opers, including Colin, who is also an old library school friend. I want to apologize to Colin, because every time I see him, I wind up blathering on about searching for library jobs, not the most upbeat of topics. We both recently applied for permanent jobs at Wendt Library, though not the same position.
I’m making movies with my housemate Jill. We’re intending to do this regularly, and become involved with the fun and fabulous Wis-Kino. Our first movie is just a minute and a half long, hee hee, without title and credits. We’re taking an editing class at WYOU (community TV station) next week.
And now, on with the show…
