Random Jottings
Jul. 16th, 2003 07:57 pmIt just seems time to make another entry.
Eric and I have had two successful trips to Loring Park, the first featuring a lot of tree identification, a band of remarkably adorable juvenile ducks, a few dragonflies; the second featuring a fledgling red-winged blackbird from the nest we saw on Pride Weekend, now perching precariously on a cattail and gaping with its red, red mouth. Both featured cormorants and egrets. I forget on which one we saw a swallow drinking from the lake. It was on the second that we made an exhaustive tour of the AIDS Memorial Garden.
Eric is working here again this week, which gives me the pleasing situation of having all my sweeties under one roof. I made dinner last night, a large vegetable stirfry and baked marinated tofu to go with it. This was unfortunate for David, who dislikes tofu; the more unfortunate since I had told him I would put cashews in the vegetable dish and then been unable to locate them in the kitchen. He was quite amiable about it all, making himself some cheese and crackers after dinner. I later caught him eating ice cream in the dining room, and we got into an argument about how much or little protein it contained. He was much righter than I was (this is not unusual) but in that mixture of kindly and sarcastic that only he can manage, said that no doubt it contained quite a lot of protein "to a vegan."
Raphael and I have some really excellent literary discussion.
Eric and I have entered into fairly practical serious planning for his departure for California, so I'm afraid that's real.
