Spent Easter at Hank's. En route, got to spend some meaningful time with his girlfriend. She's graduating soon with an art history degree and wants to increase Clevelanders' interest in the arts; I'm a pseudo-Clevelander with a long-time appreciation for music and literature, who made ceramics as a child, yet who has some sort of blind spot for visual art. I've wanted to rectify this for some time — to become a person who enjoys ambling around art museums — but haven't been able to figure out how. Plus, Meghan wants to learn more about music. Symbiosis!

Played Clue and Trivial Pursuit chez Mac-and-Sparky. Met (or perhaps re-met?) Sparky, who very generously offered space to land in Dublin. I wasn't sure the British Isles would fit into this trip, but now I'm fairly sure they do.

I'll be in Chicago April 21-25 (for Passover with the folks). Nathan, you should aim to be around then, too. I have a couple books of yours to return and a USB Bluetooth doodad for you to play with.
