Those of you who have been to our old house in Southboro probably remember the cat step in the office.  I made this step so that our cats could get to the window sill and sniff the world in the good weather, but as it turns out they both liked to just sit on it.

Recently, Parker has taken to occupying our office chairs — if he could sit on both at the same time, I think he would.  This makes it somewhat inconvenient to use the office.  So I reinstalled the step in our new office, hoping he would use it instead.  It sometimes works, as seen here.

My breakfast tangerine today had 42 seeds in it — so many that it made it somewhat difficult to eat.

We picked up the first share from our meat CSA today.  Here we have what we’ll be eating from it this week: two bone-in chicken breasts and some ground beef & lamb.

We helped my mother in law move into her new apartment in Worcester today.  The apartment is nice, and the woodwork has these cool art-deco-ish corner blocks.

Yes, I’m posting about food again… must mean I didn’t get a good picture today. 

These bones are left over from a 1/2 rack of baby back ribs that went into tonight’s dinner. Yum!

This is a picture of my open sunroof.  I kept it open all the way home tonight.  Why? Because as I am typing this it is STILL 60 degrees outside, and at commute time it was even warmer.  Of course, it’s supposed to snow on Saturday.

There was some meeting in my office today (in which I was not involved, thankfully) for which they ordered lunch.  I guess it was cheaper to get a Party Pack from our local Falafel King than to do individual orders.  But it was enough food to feed an army — the rest of us chowed down on the leftovers — stuffed grape leaves, falafel balls, salad, and of course hummus.  Have you ever seen 5 pounds of hummus in one container before?

It was good too — made right there in the store.

One month to go!  I’ve posted a picture a day for 11 months now.

Two weeks ago, I complained that Quincy had put its Christmas decorations up too soon.  Well now I’m not complaining; they look great at night from my office window. 

I promised a picture of my Christmas Thanksgiving Cactus when it was blooming.  Well here you go.

Lis and I took advantage of the good weather today to do some geocaching near home, the first we’ve done since moving.

While out, we ran across this old, almost completely overgrown, park bench in the woods.  I have no idea why it was allowed to fall into disrepair — without the saplings, the view from this spot would be lovely.
