2:58 PM: on the edge

i took sven to the edgefield thursday night, which was a really neat experience. reconstructed from a poor farm and old folks' home, it is packed with art, including an on-site earthware mason and glassware studio. and they have one of the best package deals for 2 people: dinner, lodging, breakfast the next day. and the dinner was mighty fine, too, with plentiful and delectable items. afterwards, you can linger on the large porches or wander the gardens, or simply move from pub to pub, if you're inclined to partake of homebrewed beer, wine & spirits. and it's the kind of place that gives you comfy robes and leaves towels neatly folded on the bed. at any rate, it was nice to be absent from the world for about 24 hours.
not related to anything but sort of neat: the mit media lab invited me to participate in a blog survey.
