You can see I was able to keep my green plate.

Here’s the interior:

We were having such a good time skiing that we didn’t want to waste time on lunch. Waffle Cabin to the rescue!

View from the top of the Jordan lift at Sunday River.  Morning weather on the right, afternoon on the left.  And Michael in the middle.

Lis will have her Kraft Mac & Cheese this weekend, and am having one of my guilty food pleasures — Popeye’s Fried Chicken — at a rest stop in Maine.

I’ve had my green plate since 1991 on 3 cars. Will it pass muster for another one?  The law is “readable from 60 feet,” which I certainly think it is.

There’s a bug on the ceiling.

I bought this X-Acto knife set when I was 15 years old or so. They still sell just about the same kit today.

What’s missing from this picture of an otherwise delicious-looking breakfast?  That’s right, eggs!

I had an allergy test on Thursday, and it turns out that along with cats, dogs, and enough seasonal pollens & molds to last me all year round, I am also mildly allergic to some foods: eggs, milk, soybeans, and cod. I’m not so allergic that I should not eat them, but enough that if I do I increase my allergy load — and so perhaps I should avoid them when I’m subject to a lot of other allergens.

This fellow flew into the tree above our garage this morning as I was leaving for work. By the time I came back with the big camera, he was gone, so all I have is this cell phone shot. He’s small, a bit bigger than a dove (thus my assumption he’s male), and my guess is he’s a sharp-shinned or Cooper’s hawk.
