We've been spending some free time playing Ingress again. Two weekends ago, made it to a brunch get-together in Arlington. One weekend ago, the group had their annual picnic at the sculpture park at deCordova Museum, which I hadn't visited previously. This last weekend we went to Washington DC for one of the latest Ingress Anomalies. It went well for our team. Game was fun, and enjoyed wandering around the city despite the hot weather. Eris enjoyed running around, watching YouTube Kids videos while being ported around, stroller naps, and eating an unlimited supply of puffs.
I went out to Olin for a few days of campus recruiting events last week, which went well.
The previous week, I went to a book talk for Ferrett Stienmetz's new novel The Uploaded. The book was a fun read.
Other things happened too, probably!
Eristic improvements: Springing up from a crouch (not yet jumping from ground, but getting there), "jumping" down from seats / steps assisted, social mimicry with dolls and stuffed animal toys (that is, she'll pretend to feed them water or talk to them or put them to bed, etc.), climbing up onto and down from seats.
