calibraskan

"calibraskan."  that's what i've decided i am.  and i think the events of the past week prove it.

saturday, october 3, i was in san francisco with my brother and sister-in-law at the hardly strictly bluegrass festival in golden gate park.  it felt like home.  which, technically, it kind of was for a lot of my life.  growing up an hour south of san francisco, we went into the city a fair bit.  when i stepped off the plane and looked at the hills, the traffic, the trees...i knew that this place will always be a pretty big part of me.  here are some highlights:







you can spot gillian welch (with david rawlings) being her amazing self, the golden gate bridge, ralph stanley charming the crowd, and old crow medicine show as viewed from our spot in the woods.  aaaaaaah.  sigh of satisfaction and joy.

fast forward one week to saturday, october 10.  omaha, nebraska.  outside, it looks like this:

yep.  snow.  4-5 inches of it.  and my calibraskan self actually enjoyed it.  and went to the last farmer's market of the season in it.  without gloves.  without proper shoes.  and had a great time.

needless to say, it's been a good week.  plus, all kinds of fun things happened in the middle of the week.  i'm exhausted, but i'd do a week like that again any old time.
