calimacAfter a meeting at work (we're all volunteers here, and Sunday turned out to be the best time to meet this month), I stayed on to get some more work done. Our children's librarian wants to separate out the board books and other impedimentia from the regular picture books, and we'll do so as soon as we can get new shelving installed in the area under the window newly vacated by unneeded cabinets. In the meantime, my job is to tag the relevant catalog records so we can batch re-label the books later.
Afterwards, I drove to a nearby city library to return some books about presidents, and then stopped at an upscale grocer's on the way out to see if there was anything good I could bring home. (Lesson: expensive gourmet tamales are nowhere near as good as the ones from storefront kitchens in the barrio.)
It was gratifyingly quiet and uncrowded doing all of this, and only later did I remember that the Super Bowl was on. A great time to go out and do errands, as the number zero does not do sufficient justice to the magnitude of my level of interest in the Super Bowl.
In the meantime, B's sister suffered a serious illness on board a Caribbean cruise and has been offloaded to a hospital in Belize. Belize! At least monoglot English speakers should not be totally out of communication with the locals there. She should be able to be transported home, and various relatives are converging on the place to help her do it.

We can often tell when Burning Man is going on because there is ample parking around town!
