Farmer's market

Sat, 08/28/2010 - 12:51pm

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.

Last day internship

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.

...and two dogs

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

Mon, 08/16/2010 - 7:29am

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

Sat, 08/14/2010 - 4:31pm

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.

The Zanes in Georgetown

Sun, 08/08/2010 - 9:56am

Jonathan, Irena and the kids visited us in Georgetown yesterday and we had a great afternoon in the city.

It was very warm so we stayed mainly in the shadow, and walking along the waterside.

Some pictures.

Night in Georgetown

Wed, 08/04/2010 - 10:56pm

It's nice to live in a city for a while. We were out of coffee so I just walked to CVS to pick up some.

Many houses in Georgetown are from the colonial era. This gives the city an European feel, especially in the smaller backstreets.

Every two hours

Mon, 08/02/2010 - 8:42am

I'm working from D.C. this week, from the house where Sasha is staying for her internship. It's on P Street in Georgetown, and falls under the "Zone 2" parking restrictions. Without a permit you can park on the street only for two hours.

So, every two hours I have move our car. This is funny, because there are so many empty parking spots during the day.

Petra has kindly offered that we can park at their house, a few metro stops away. If the moving becomes bothersome I'll park there for a few days.
