Found!
A dirty old flowered tin!
It was on the sidewalk in a recycling bag with the Skippy jar and the Tupperware bowls.
Pu-u-u-u-re gold!

Last night
The prospect of laundry and grocery shopping was making us cranky and depressed, so we said fuck it and went for a run then watched tennis, drank wine, and played Scrabble (well, a game like Scrabble).
Much more satisfactory.

Whales and Whaling
Greg pointed out that I didn't include any actual pictures of flensing.
So here you go:
Flensing!
(Hey, remember that Judy Blume book Blubber?)

Dancing in the Dark
If you want to read a book about being beautiful, married, thirty-two, and living in New York in the 1980s, this is the one.
It's sort of a sister to Bright Lights Big City.
I found this on the street a while back and just read it for a second time.

It's true
Speaking of trivets, I would like to mention that I sold that crocheted grape number on Etsy for $12 (the first and only item I have sold there).
Yup, that's a 500 percent profit, baby!

Query
If you lived in this house...
...would you TRIM THE DAMN TREES!?
I thought so.
Apparently these people (who live across the street from my mom) like their privacy.

Trivets
Made by my grandfather, Melvern C. Hoff, the type of man who wrote the date on things he made.
1971!
Apocryphal family story: back in the day, a young friend of my brother saw the trivets on the table, yelled "Chocolate!" and tried to eat one.
Summertime memory
Evidence of skorl activity at the cabin.
Elementary, my dear Watson!
(Also they liked to steal the toilet paper.)

Rooftop dining
It's fun.
And you can spy on people.
Now what are they up to over there?
Hm. Nothing much.
Dinner was decent though!

More things I considered buying:
Turtle versus snake!!
From when I was two years old.
In case Greg and I never make a friend.
Money-making machine.
I regret not getting that last item.

Amazing stacking old-timey Tupperware bowls found on the street!
I love stuff.
