The daily lives of Brett, Julia & Data
How does one place six stories about the candidates for three state senate races on one page without favoring any story over another?
If you’re like me, you would mathematically calculate the exact dimensions necessary to provide each race with precisely the same area on the page without the page looking like total crap. I think it worked out pretty well.
Here’s a work-in-progress for a feature on the importance of vitamin D. It needs something, but I can’t put my finger on what.
45-minute train ride from Darien to New Haven at 9 a.m.: $8
15-minute 3/4-mile walk from station to Ikea: Free
Ikea being sold out of the $12 stools that would be perfect speaker stands, with no new shipment for a month or more, leaving me to walk back to the train station to catch another train with nothing to show for it having wasted three hours of my day: Priceless
Also, I think I got hit on by a middle-aged woman today. I was walking through the Costco parking lot and she approached me and said “do you have a bad back?” To which I replied “um no.” She asked me to help her put four big crates of water bottles into her car, which I did. As I finished putting the last one in, she said “now I just need to get you to come home with me” and gave me a look. Needless to say, I just said “you’re welcome, have a nice day” and left.
Finally, here are some photos from the other day.

After work last night, Julia and I came to Suffield and decided to take Data for a nice hike up the mountain. The foliage is really kicking in and the weather was beautiful. Of course, I took some photos. Click “there’s more to…” to see them all or visit my SmugMug.
The local dog park is closed until November for re-seeding, so I took Data to a big field and threw some sticks for him. And then he ate them.
