There’s been a raw potato on my desk since yesterday. I was going to bring it home today, figured I’d eat it sometime soon.

But then I got distracted by stabbing it with a drinking straw, and amused my coworkers by showing them how to do it, and that was the end of the potato.

I had to buy a couple of bags of marbles for a program at work. They came with this warning on them.

really. I don’t even know how to respond to that.

ah, the Registry. Had to renew the license today. It actually didn’t take long at all; the Registry has improved quite a bit, and by making so many transactions doable on-line, there are fewer people doing it in person.

But they still don’t look happy.

I’ve taken a page from Doug’s book and posted a picture of something I ate today.

I know a lot of people don’t  like Passover, but I am not one of them. It’s challenging to come up with a good menu, but that’s no big deal. And it’s certainly a good excuse to whip up a batch of lox, matzah and eggs for breakfast!

Every month at work, the Art Educator decorates the Art Studio with samples that show a wide variety of the type of art being done that month in the Studio. This month, the kids are doing puppet-making and the Studio is full of marionettes, hand puppets, and finger puppets of all shapes and sizes. But I liked these two.

There was a “feminist seder” at my moms’ UU church tonight. So naturally there was an orange on the seder plate.

The story my mom told was that a rabbi supposedly said “we need a woman on the bimah like we need an orange on the seder plate.” But I just did a little research, and many web sites tell a different story. And it’s much more interesting.

Anyway, the seder was fun and I am completely stuffed.

Git yer Boston Herald here!

or, um…your Boston Globe.
oops.

I’m just going to take a wild guess here and say they don’t want people going in this way.

I wonder if this is what everyone looks like through the eyes of a chiropractor…

I realize the eye is a very delicate and intricate organ, and that ophthamologists need very specialized equipment to be able to study them properly. But seriously…if this doesn’t look like a prop from a science fiction movie, I don’t know what does.

(happy to report that my eyes are fine, by the way.)
