- Along with some friends, Maggie and I saw Magnolia at the Goodman Theatre last night. The play tells the stories of those born on the Forrest plantation as they navigate the unpredictable landscape of 1963 Atlanta. A theater expert I’m not, but I’d definitely recommend this play.
- Part of the adoption process we’re in the midst of is a state-mandated home study. The first part of the study was a joint interview conducted by our social worker. Last week we finished part two- individual interviews. This morning the social worker visits our apartment for the final portion of the home study. Assuming our home is safe enough for an infant then we will have finished one of the biggest parts of this process.
- On of my favorite documentaries, Buena Vista Social Club, is now available for free viewing on Hulu. Have you seen it?
- If you’re in Chicagoland, you may want to set aside the weekend of July 17. I don’t have many details yet, but New Community will be hosting a friend for a series of lectures that readers of this blog will likely be quite interested in. I’ll post more information as it’s available.

Hah! Just got Buena Vista Social Club through my Blockbuster.com account. I’m looking forward to watching it!
Is Skye seriously coming to NC3? !? I’m excited!

Thanks for the heads up on the documentary. I’ll definitely check it out!
Also, best of luck with the home inspection thing. Just make sure you put your really sharp knife collection and broken glass collection and your poison collection out of reach for today, and I’m sure you’ll do fine. 🙂
Seriously, though, I’m quite certain you’ll prove more than “fit” for this task. I can’t think of any couple that I KNOW will take great care for and truly love this child. Best of everything to you and Maggie!

I have had Buena Vista Social Club on my list for a while and have been looking forward to seeing it for some time. I look forward to seeing most anything by Wim Wenders. Wings of Desire would make my list of all time favorite films.

I watched BVSC today–worked from home. I gotta say, I love the music. Hearing the stories of the musicians was great too. But I really feel like going out and getting the album now. Thanks for the recommendation!
