Because no one wants to be trapped inside a Chinese okra.

Conversation before bed tonight:

Doug:  If you think of it tomorrow, can you put these in the sun to charge?
Me:  I won’t think of it.  Leave me a note.
Doug:  IF you think of it…
Me:  I won’t.  Just leave a note.
Doug:  Here, I’ll put it on your phone.
Me:  Then I’ll wonder “Why the hell did Doug put this on my phone?”
Doug:  I’m going to bed.

This is what I saw when I walked through the kitchen 10 minutes later.

A very important part of my day

Cherry chocolate chip ice cream!  Doug is of the opinion that it wasn’t worth the trouble it took to make it, and I must concur.  Though it sure is a beautiful color.

Something new my library is offering:  you can check out a tablet that is pre-loaded with content. Some have games, some are instructional (like languages) or for study (geometry).  Cool stuff.

I’m thinking a kid drew this as part of our fishing program at work,  and it’s supposed to be some kind of fish?   But……I just don’t know….

I know that with my little point-and-shoot, I can’t possibly get photos as good as Doug’s.  But I can get perfectly good photos of Doug.

I was grabbing some cherries to put in my lunch, and this little red one spilled out.  The one behind it is a normal size cherry.  I did not eat the little one; I imagine it would not have tasted good.

Doug’s worked in the city for 6 weeks and seen him twice. I’ve worked in  Boston almost 20 years, and never come across this local character….until today.  I am probably the only person in Boston more excited about seeing Keytar Bear than I was about Wally the Green Monster coming to work today.

This afternoon, I went to lift a box off of another box, but it was stuck.  Stuck like glue.  Then I noticed a trail of sticky looking stuff running down the front of the shelves.  I followed it to its source, on the top shelf, and discovered a half empty bottle of corn syrup.  Not a nice surprise in the middle of an already busy day…
