Finally Friday, and a three day weekend at that. Life is good!

 

Photos of some trees in our backyard, the great sweep of branches reminds me of lines of poetry, one more formal like a sonnet, the other free verse.

 

Believe it or not, here's a card catalog in use! Isn't it beautiful? I'd forgotten how noble they looked. This one is in the library of St. Norbert Abbey in Green Bay. Where better than an abbey to find a relic....

 

Josef S. Katz is showing off here modeling as part of the oriental rug pattern.

 

New day and out the door in a moment. I've been doing a lot of work on the library wiki http://boscobel.pbwiki.com trying out new widgets, etc. With all of these useful web 2.0 tools, the real problem becomes not, as it used to be, figuring out how to use the tool <>, but instead how to find the TIME to use all of the tools. Here's a chat widget that will let you text me no matter which chat client you use.Just type "hello?" in the message box below and hit the enter key. If I'm online, I'll reply!

{Update 11/9: I jsut moved the chat widget to the upper left navbar, so it won't disappear into the archives as this post ages}
