Happy new year.
I didn’t get a haircut this time.
It’s been another month in the quiet whirlwind of my life.
New Year’s gathering was wonderful. They’re always good, but this year’s was particularly close-knit, and had a good combination of reconnecting with old friends and meeting new people. Also good food, music, hiking, conversation, and lots of relaxing.
I drove to Seattle instead of Chico after new year’s, almost spontaneously. This provided the opportunity for further quaker fellowship, a trip to the zoo, some time with a very busy S, and an unexpected reunion with an old highschool friend and a lovely couple of evenings with him and his housemates. My return to the southlands was delayed by flooding on I-5, so I rescheduled my GRE appointment and finished up my grad school application in Seattle. Did I mention that I applied to grad school? I applied to grad school. The MSIM program at the University of Washington. It could be fun.
I’m back in Chico now, uploading photos and trying to arrange the bits and pieces of my plan for the next couple of months. I need to check in with people, but there’s a good chance I will be in the bay area this weekend and in LA next week. Beyond that things are still up in the air.
[...] Still no haircut. [...]
