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.

(Yes, we’re inside the garage.  I couldn’t very well take the picture outside or the winter moths would have attacked me.)

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.

You can even see the Santa I complained about on the bottom right.

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.

Today was a day of relaxing and minor chores around the house, like putting up this mesh (brought home by Lis) at the top of our stairs to keep our blind cats from plummeting 2 stories to their deaths.

We had been using a folded cardboard box for this purpose, but this is (marginally) more attractive.
