Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There should be a law that says on the first warm, sunny day of the year everyone gets to take off work.

Ha on the Federer explosion!

First chair played piccolo when we needed it, sumi. Not a frequent occurrence. I can't even remember her name or I would look her up, see if she's a professional musician now.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

There should be a law that says on the first warm, sunny day of the year everyone gets to take off work.

A Chicago friend of mine posted on FB this morning: "I didn't have to wear a coat when I left the house today!"

I went to the grocery store this morning, and when I walked out of the store at 9 a.m., from the extreme air conditioning of the store into the already-warm air outside, with the heat amplified by the blacktop, I thought "Oh, thank god. It finally feels like summer!" I am thrilled! (Of course, I also had to cave and put the a/c on at home, not so much because of the temperature -- although it's supposed to be 89 here today -- but because my allergies are trying to kill me, and for some reason my entire street is mowing their lawns this morning, so I can't keep the windows open any more.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There should be a law that says on the first warm, sunny day of the year everyone gets to take off work.

I've been saying that for years! (And said it again the other day....)

Art Crawl!!!

It was nice!

And given that I was wearing my winter coat on May Day - a bit surprising.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

People in NYC go see the linked exhibit of totally kick ass origami.

Oh wow. I kind of wish I was still in Philly just now.

Our wings are not tired.

I want rhubarb. Growing up my mother had three awesome rhubarb plants in the back yard, and it appeared often in pie form on the dinner table. YUM.

Yum indeed. We had a bunch of it in the yard too. Mom canned it with strawberries so we had it all year. Good stuff.

The origami is stunning.

No coat for me other! Shocker, right? I really do need to get out the door and to the office!!!

It's a little chilly today, here. I didn't wear a coat, but kind of wanted one.
