Lobster rolls! How lovely. Get some steamers while you're there, Laura; you just can't get good ones outside of New England.
I am so sad about Chadwick Boseman, and astonished how much work he was doing while in chemo.
I have the house to myself for a few hours, which is pleasant; the rest of the family is out to watch the ten-year-old's soccer game. (Possibly masked, possibly not; the rules seem to depend on what town the game is in?) So I made a batch of vegan pastry for Smitten Kitchen poptarts, and I'm blasting music by the Mountain Goats and similar folks.
I should probably start thinking about going home at some point, but there is no rush: my niece got my mail and is watering my plants, and work doesn't seem to care where I am...
I am really ready for a break. Just a couple days will do us a world of good.
Yeah, my couple of days at the beach in July was fantastic, and I feel like I'll need to do it again in September.

You're in Colorado, right? They just got added to Massachusetts's good list. Unlike Rhode Island, which stays on the naughty list, preventing our annual pilgrimage.
yeah, I'm in Boulder. The parents were told they couldn't watch the game from the sidelines, and so my brother brought a set of binoculars to see if they could watch from the car.
Frankly, I think banning parents is actually a good idea for a lot of sports: they often behave terribly and it's hard on the coaches & managers to control the parents as well as the kids.

The refs would like that a bunch too.
Laura enjoy your mini vacation and the drive through Vermont.
Ugh customers today are..ugh..seen more Trump gear on people. And then I checked FB and M's SIL has a post that is kinda pro militia and vigilante violence and I just unfriended her. It's not with engaging
Timelies all!
Overcast and kinda rainy here. Mr. S has been grumpy on and off today.
I'm finding it hard to anything today, just really dragging, which is a shame because it is not too hot and doesn't seem very smoky. Maybe after lunch I'll be able to accomplish something...
Very sad to hear about Chadwick Boseman's passing.
I went to pick up dinner for us tonight before the curfew and it was strange seeing most of the businesses with the windows boarded up (my normal work commute doesn't take me through the city proper) but there's been a concerted effort this week for volunteers to paint the boards, so it was great to see all the hopeful pictures and messages.
The last few nights have been peaceful. While there's still protesting going on and probably will continue, there thankfully hasn't been any of the violence recently. Though El Cheeto Supreme is apparently visiting on Tuesday to talk to our law enforcement and survey the damage, so who knows if he's going to set things off again or not.
{{Maria}} Lots of health~ma, with an extra dose of it's~nothing~ma!
