Reading the New Yorker

I could not stop staring at this picture.

I still can't.

Easter

My sister Sarah was in town, and we had some friends over.

Beautiful centerpiece.

Crocuses from our yard!!

And, note: I got to use this!

Beth brought this beauty.

Very fun times.

My excuse is

I had the flu.

Dear everyone

Get ready for the best iPhone case on planet Earth.

(Note: picture taken atop Doonesbury book, neatly encapsulating my current obsessions.)

Side project

Reading all of Doonesbury! I'm up to the 1980s, tho I think I missed a bit of the 1970s.

Definitely one of the great (and ongoing!) oeuvres in comics.

Nerd package has arrived!

Previous owner had an embossing stamp!

WANT.

The cat

Watching you.

(But in a cute way.)

In the closet

Greg's "time out" chair.

One way to dry your jeans

It did work.

Another literary post

After much squinting and neck craning I determined that this man was reading Othello.

Have you seen this blog yet?

"A Connecticut Muffin in King Arthur's Court"

I took these pictures just so I could make that joke.

Long-term project

Making raisins.

Jewish civilization

Not easy to wrap the ol' noggin around it.

Science

This is how it works, right?

Outside

REALLY seems like he's trying to tell me something.

In a blizzard

I noticed this.

Vogue Bambini, Jan/Feb 1983.

A passerby inquired whether I was "picking up dirty old garbage."

Answer: Yes.

Found

A stool!

Handmade.

Carved and strung with heavy twine.

Someone knew what they were doing.

Works!

Coffee ice cream

And maple-leaf cookies.

Demanding lasagna!

Chaos

She's still there...

You have come back to me!

Update

Best 250-year-old diary ever.

Dinner

Grilled cheese sandwiches by lamplight.

(In future I should probably NOT "clean" the lamp base with a wet, dirty sponge.)

Favorite bracelet

I was fiddling with it while walking down the street, and I dropped it on the sidewalk.

Repaired the crack with tape.

Works pretty good.

Meat without feet

Call that number for you-know-what.

Laughing at a really good joke I made.
