Hippo Birdy to my birthday twin (sort of)!
I'm online still at my Mom's, but leaving is imminent. We had realio trulio pea soup fog this morning, couldn't see across the parking lot, so I decided not to push for an early departure!
Today will be a festive day of, well, mostly driving, but at least I get to be home at the end of it, which seems a pretty good present overall.
Happy Birthdays, Jesse, Theodosia, and Rayne!
And Happy December 26 Holiday of Your Choice!
Happy Birthday, Theodosia! May the drive be most pleasant.
Happy Birthday, Jesse! Only good stuff today.
And Rayne! I hope you are having a good day too.
Wow, good day for making quality people. I wish all of you separate quality pressies and none of those joint Birthday/Christmas rip off kind.
Birthday Happies for Jesse, Theo and Rayne!!!
ION, Christmas with Bacon Cocktails
Where would Science be without little plastic monkeys?
'Pick up Monkeys' was originally produced as a children's game (1965) and they have proved very versatile. I discovered in 1968 that they were ideal models for protein subunits, being asymmetric, having multiple interaction sites and available in several colours. This exhibition illustrates their use in modelling the geometry of multi–subunit protein structures.
...
If the two sites are joined by a symmetric link (S) then a pair with twofold rotational symmetrysymmetry symmetry (2) is produced and this cannot grow further without introducing a new link, which in turn may be either symmetric or asymmetric. (These comments are best understood by manipulating a few monkeys.)

ita, I just wanted to say that the bread pudding recipe you submitted for the Buffista cookbook was a huge hit at dinner last night. My daughter, who originally complained and said bread pudding wasn't a dessert (she was holding out for the traditional cookies we usually make), went back for seconds. Heh. When something gets the Alexia stamp of approval I know (beyond my own liking) it's got to be good.
Downtown Chicago was deserted at 8:15 this morning. That was eerie.
Happy Birthday, Jesse, Theodosia and Rayne!
My mom set up a non-traditional Christmas Dinner that was more like my brunches yesterday: baked ham, cheese, tomato crackers, and devilled eggs. All of it quite good, though perhaps having a blood draw for a cholesterol test the morning after wasn't ideal. Does the scale go to four digits?
I'm off to my own eerie downtown.
Happy birthday, cowgirl! Hope you get all the wrangler treats you deserve.
Happy birthday, Theo! I hope you get an animal planet's worth of fun.
Happy birthday where ever you are Rayne! Thanks for all the scripty goodness.
