now and then

Then: baking pies for my last Thanksgiving at IWU.  That poor oven had to be on halfway through the night, mostly because one of us accidentally put 2 tablespoons of salt into the crust instead of 2 teaspoons.  No matter, the two of us just made another apple pie and ate the entirety of the filling from the first salty-crust pie.  Delicious and sugar-coma inducing.

Now:   Getting together for brunch in Minneapolis!  One is volunteering for a year with the Lutheran Volunteer Corps at Kaleidoscope Place, a community center for children in the Philips neighborhood of Minneapolis, and the other is planning to join a program sponsored by the Cambridge Science Festival that matches scientists with Boston-area teachers.  (one step closer to my goal of becoming Ms. Frizzle).
