Where am I now? In Seattle. I was in Chicago for the weekend, now in Seattle, back to Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
I have some great photos from the Chicago weekend, but I forgot the cord to connect the camera to the laptop, so you'll have to wait until I get home for those. I can say that an evening that includes the Hop Leaf, Green Mill, and being called up on stage to do the electric slide with Tom, Laura, Mary Fons and others for a two-minute play at Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind is a pretty kick-ass last night in Chicago.
And today, some mushroom-themed links for you:
Check out this "All Things Considered" story about a Harvard scientist out in the woods with her student and postdoc, looking for mushrooms. The family she loves is in Massachusetts now, but the mushroom she loves is still in California. The interviewer seems very amused with her group, cavorting through the rain, breathlessly identifying new kinds of fungi. Young mycologist, Fiona, in the Series of Unfortunate Events could use a role model like Dr. Pringle.
And speaking of mushrooms, comments like "Me too on the toilet mushrooms" abound on Tom7's 3+ year-old post on his blog, #1 google hit for "bathroom mushroom.
