Spring!
Jump to Comments
After the cold rain of Friday, it warmed up enough for a visit to Sarah P. Duke Gardens to see the flowering trees and daffodils.
We also wandered up from the gardens to campus where Miles pulled hard on his leash and scratched his long claws (he needs a trim) on the slate walkways as he tried to capture a squirrel. Duke really does feel and look like one of those perfect (maybe creepy?) colleges in the movies. It is clear where some of that $46,050 a year cost to attend Duke goes.
In other weekend news, I really am that Starbucks drinking, Volvo driving, NPR listening, liberal lemming…so I had to sign up for Showtime.
But I will get $25 to sign up so it isn’t all bad, is it?

The gardens look beautiful…Duke IS one of the perfect, creepy colleges in the movies and TV (see Creek, Dawson’s). The Chapel also served as a backdrop for a scene in the Handmaid’s Tale. Yikes!

hey, ditto for me (minus the volvo, she added proudly) — we dropped the 500 hbo channels we had, added showtime and a dvr (!), and our monthly cable bill goes down, too. we are practically counting the hours until we get to watch this american life!
and p.s. as is my springtime ritual, i am so jealous of the pink blossoms pictured above. think piles of dirty snow, and you’ll understand.
