Farmer's market in Durham, NC.I went for a haircut this morning and afterwards I visited the farmer’s market downtown.
I bought a free-range chicken from a local farmer and some fresh herbs and flowers.
Guus: I helped an old lady pick up something from a high shelf: “Oh that’s nice to have the college guys back” — I’m still young!

Submitted by Guus on Fri, 08/20/2010 - 8:49am
Today Sasha is wrapping up a successful internship. She gave a closing presentation on Wednesday that was very well received. A good feeling. I’ll go for lunch at her work today.
Tomorrow we’ll travel back to Durham! We’ll miss the cats.
The release that I’m working on for work is coming to an end and we’re starting to do planning for the fall release.
Guus: traffic jam on the way to the grocery store for lunch. Gotta love DC!
-- Thu, 08/19/2010 - 12:02pm...and two dogs
Submitted by Guus on Tue, 08/17/2010 - 7:02pm
The house we’re staying in has an apartment in the basement, and the two dogs of the owners are living there now. Someone comes in twice a day to feed them and walk them.
Every now and then I go downstairs to play with them. They look intimidating but they’re very sweet.
When I went downstairs after lunch I heard a cat meowing, and after I put the dogs back in their apartment I looked for the cat. It turned out that the lazy cat was stuck in the cleaning closet. It must have hidden there yesterday when the cleaning ladies were here.
The cat was stressed out after a night in the closet and very happy that I let him out. Sure enough, the first thing he did was run upstairs to his food.
The other cat

So I thought the other cat was sleeping all the time, but in fact it is only lazy after breakfast.
In the morning it’s very active. When we come downstairs it will run towards us and with loud ‘miauws’ announce that it’s hungry.
We went for a nice long walk yesterday; the same 6 mile course that I ran on Saturday. No running today.
Back in Georgetown

I arrived back in Georgetown late last night. The owners of the house where we’re staying are coming back soon and they dropped off their two cats recently, so we have some nice company.
Most cats that I know pretend not to like people, at least in the beginning, but not Scruffy. It follows us everywhere we walk, and likes to play. It’s twelve years old but very active. The other cat is pretty much sleeping all the time.
I’m staying here a week; Sasha’s internship is coming to and end and we’ll return together next Saturday.
