The New Digs
Back from Context, and I enjoyed it a great deal. Con report comes later, since I'm still behind on the updateage. But I managed to hijack a panel into talking about virtual worlds, where the new gig and the idea behind it (also more later) gained a lot of enthusiastic traction, which was very cool. Didn't catch up with people as much as I would have liked (las, nayad), but it was a lightning fast convention -- and I'd like to go again next year.
But here's the new place.
The sprawling crabapple tree about fifteen feet from my door:
When I look outside the big window, this is pretty much what I see, though obviously without the cottage in the way:
I officially live on the St. Lawrence River:
(And walked out onto that dock to take a picture of the water, but it apparently didn't come out.
This sucker was the first thing I saw when I walked into the cottage:
I thought it was plastic, but my dad says it's most likely real. Yay taxidermy!
There are more photos in that parent directory, but basically this one gives a good idea of the property size, this is my driveway, which goes past two other cottages and is about a quarter mile from the road, and this is about what it looks like right now, my favorite time of the evening. A big flock of sparrows comes down about this same time every night to peck around in the dust just outside my door -- it sounds like rain.
