In spite of the fact that I told them I did not want a send off, my team threw me a non-party anyway. It featured an activity kit on how to celebrate Alissa (the instructions are under the plaque), a photo book, and a plaque thanking me for my service to the museum (which was really from BCM’s president). There may have been tears.
Peace out, BCM. Thanks for everything.
I love this Halloween display on my neighbor’s yard
Got on the train tonight, on an empty car, and there hung this Chinese food container. Did someone accidentally leave behind their dinner? Was it full of leftovers for the next passenger? Was it not food at all, and just a box that someone used to carry stuff? Was it empty? We’ll never know, because I sure as hell wasn’t about to open it.
I work with some incredibly creative and talented people. Like, insanely creative and talented. For example…one colleague is putting together a huge display of spooky plants for an upcoming event at work. Including these.
It was hard to decide which thing to post. This scary flower was my second choice.
But fortunately, it’s not. I did a double take when I stepped outside, and then remembered that we had the lawn aerated yesterday, and there are little soil plugs all over it.
Sedum is not one of my favorite flowers, but they do bring a nice spot of color to the yard in September.
At work today, I needed to take a picture of a pile of random stuff. I had a kit made up of such items, but I couldn’t find it. So I just gathered some stuff from around my office. Because these are the sorts of things I have in my office.
I don’t usually pay that much attention to the art that hangs in the library. But this time, I was thrilled to spot this work (the picture of the little girl) that won first place in a local competition….because it was done by my friend Mike Flint!
Ferrous’s nemesis, Orange Kitty, came around today and came right up the porch steps. Ferrous was quick to head over, and the two yowled at each other until I decided enough was enough and went outside to send Orange Kitty home. For a video of the standoff, go here
