Today I felt like I was hardly at my desk, although I got a lot done. Seabird and another person from FART 5 walked with me in the morning, then I gave blood, and then Seabird and I went to see her possible new office. It was on the fourth floor of another building, and the elevator only goes up to the third floor. You have to take a scary staircase to the fourth floor, and then there's no bathroom up there, just a drinking fountain with no filter. However, the view from up there is beautiful. Seabird looked at it and said she would probably just stay in my building. She's in a different FART now, but our boss doesn't care if she keeps sitting in the FART 5 office. She wants to be close to the other woman we walked with, who knows everything. We are always all asking her for help. Then in the afternoon I walked with Hardingfele. I was even going to go to Irish conversation, but I was starting to feel a bit run down after the blood donation.
When Travalon came home, the two of us went to the North Street Cabaret to see a band that was playing as part of Klez Fest, but they were very weird and not traditional klezmer at all. Also, the place was packed and like 100 degrees F in there. We left, and when we got back in the car, Travalon put on traditional klezmer music. Did you know "And the Angels Sing" by Bennie Goodman is based on a song called "Der Shtiler Bulgar"? I must like bulgars, which are a type of dance music, because my band plays a song called "Odessa Bulgar" and it's like my favorite thing ever.
I forgot to post this photo Travalon sent me from work yesterday. They were in a blacklight bowling alley!
Here are some photos he took from Grandad's Bluff when he was in La Crosse on Saturday.
An internet search seems to indicate that it is St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church. Stay tuned - I have lots more photos from Travalon!
