Went to the protest on Waltham Common today. It was rainy, but not pouring, so it wasn’t too bad. And my sign survived the wet pretty well, so I was pleased. Several people commented/took pictures, and one couple asked me to explain what the reference is. They weren’t GenX.
Wow. Now I understand why some places are so resistant to re-assigning their bathrooms. I mean, can you imagine how much work it took to do this? At least 10 minutes, easily.
Searching for scrap paper this morning, we came across these…doodles? We decided that had to be from a game of Pictionary. So we’ve got…someone with a sword and shield facing a lion, maybe gladiator? someone with their hair sticking straight out? something I have no idea about; a key; a tractor? I’m guessing the next one means “heavy”; a skier having a crash? a pig with an arrow pointing at its back? a stop sign; a boat inside a boat? and….is that someone using a yo-yo straight out? No idea what most of these are supposed to mean. Please, let me know if you have any thoughts.
Out and about today, I walked by a local gym with their door open to enjoy the lovely weather. And this guy was “guarding” the door. Very important job.
So Doug had a bunch of friends over for a “double-blind” whiskey tasting. Which meant I had to do all the pours, and keep the bottles hidden. Stinky. And then only one person (thanks, Chris!) managed to fill out their score sheet correctly. But listening to them go on like they were speaking another language was very entertaining to me, and they all had a really good time.
One of the rhododendrons in the yard is getting ready to bloom. I kind of like the way they look before they actually do that.
My second shipment of birthday club chocolate came today. In included this beautiful bar of dark, wrapped in a very pretty package that explained a bit about it.
PS It was pretty tasty.
In November of last year, I posted an image of the view out the skylight as I lay on the floor doing some yoga and stretching. Here is the same view today.
(These images shouldn’t be TOO triggering…)
Dug out a few more college notebooks today. Found lots of fun stuff, including my Biochemistry lab reports, which were written without the help of any kind of spreadsheet or graphing program, and were hand written. Then another handwritten chart from Ecology (?). And last but not least. my beloved VertMorph notebook (that’s Vertebrate Morphology to the rest of you). I had to copy those notes too, just like organic chem, because I needed to clean up and colorize my drawings, and make my notes legible.
That’s fair.
