um.. in the field again...
hmm.. lately it seems I post when I'm in the field. I'm totally due for a photo-heavy post soon too, I've finished a ton of projects for the house lately. Mabye tomorrow night if I am feeling ambitious. Tonight I feel a little drained from the cold and the wind and relaxed from the huge margarita I had with dinner. I'm in the field in Marshall, Missouri. Not so far from home, but far enough that it is not worth it to drive back and forth each day time-wise. I was worried it was going to be damn cold this morning, but it wasn't TOO bad, but still colder than I'd like. Last time we surveyed this reach (Mid-August) it was 107 degrees. Today the water was 5 degrees C and the air was thirties to forties depending on the time of day. Anyway the work went well, and we have either 1 or 2 days left. I'm checking out in the morning just in case we're done early, but it will probably take 2 more days.
We had a good break, we went to Kansas City on Thursday to meet up with my family and grandparents. We went to the new addition to the Nelson Art Gallery in KC on Friday (great- it's their contemporary wing and was fantastic!) and did a bit of shopping and a lot of sitting, talking, and eating. Saturday night we made it home just in time to catch the BIG game (big for this sports-obcessed town at least). It was the night of the rivalry game for MU-KU, but it also turned out it was a game for #1 in the country (I'm totally not into sports, especially football, but you see my parents went to KU and A went to MU and we live in Columbia so this is a big deal). Anyway the game was funny- A was so into it and yelled and screamed when MU did well and Izzy was sitting in my lap and kept leaping up and leaving the room afraid every time A got excited. (loud) MU won, which made A really happy. Sunday we pretty much just relaxed around the house and got some much-needed exercise. My sports excitement of the fall is that Carleton won an Ultimate frisbee tournament here a few weekends ago. There were 40 teams in town for the tournament, including several of the top from last year, so it was fun to see them win it all. It even made the TV news. I was a geek and went and watched them play a game against Colorado.
