remember circle time? the teacher reads a story, followed by deep analysis of said story and open discussion of whatever is important to a group of 5 year olds. those were the days.
on time
the theme of the week is Time.
Happily, the electronic ticker tape was correct today about the predicted arrival of the train. there was at least one day this winter that every time it scrolled by, it actually added a few minutes. that’s not how it’s supposed to work.
look who’s back
still living in the storm drain. I wonder if we’ll see the babies again this year.
specialized water
We have a special pitcher of water for the plants (it’s just allowed to sit out) and special water for Parker (with “kitty mouthwash” in it). I guess it’s kind of amusing.
whirlpool
luckily it’s only about 10 inches across.
rain rain go away
happy April Fools Day, have a Nor’easter! In Boston, just enough snow to make walking treacherous, followed by a good amount of rain to make nice deep puddles.

BONUS PICTURE
upon preparing to mix up a bottle of crystal light, I noticed this pattern on the inside of the cap before shaking up the bottle:
bubblah
That’s what it’s called here in New England, folks.
humidity
The hermit crabs’ tank needs to be kept pretty humid–between 75-85%–but sometimes it gets a little too damp in there, and the front of the tank gets all sweaty and you can’t see through it.
water feature
There’s an atrium in the center of St Vincent’s hospital; it looks like a shopping mall. It’s quite nice if you have to wait around. It’s got a skylight, lots of nice wooden seating, a shop, a little pizza/pasta counter and an entire wall of waterfalls.
water bottles
The theme of the week, for no particular reason, is water.
This is the vending machine at my gym. I wonder, if they got rid of it, would more people suddenly bring their own bottles? On the other hand, I wonder if most people do have their own bottles, and only buy if they forget…
