I had a chatty online Wednesday -- talked to my high school friend group right after lunch, then watched the first half of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl with Cel and Laurie in the late afternoon. In between I did some chores and some writing, and afterward Paul and I took a walk and saw a tiny toad on the cul-de-sac with the pair of baby bunnies. We watched the season…
Most of my Tuesday was pretty quiet for me except online. I did a bunch of chores and reading and I also talked to Chris, plus we took a walk and saw several bunnies. My DS9 group watched "Family Business" which is a must-see because of Kasidy Yates and Moogie, but the Ferengi story is really hard to watch even knowing that it ends well a few seasons along. Then we watched the Red Sox win (Adley…
I don't remember what I did on Monday early besides laundry and some weekend photo sorting, but we ate dinner very early and in the late afternoon we drove to Millbury to see Six: The Musical Live! which stars the original West End cast and starts with a feature interviewing them and the show's creators filmed mostly around the open-air concert in the courtyard of Hampton Court Palace. I've seen…
Sunday was another gorgeous day. Adam's brother-in-law Sagar, who is training for a marathon, wanted to run a 5K with his friends for his birthday, so we went over there to offer cheering and dog-walking, though Pepper only made it 1K before she had had enough so we went back to hang out with Hildy and Tom plus others who did not want to run a 5K. There were snacks and eventually pizza and cake,…
We had absolutely perfect weather on Saturday. We thought we were going to Gloucester for a festival and to meet a friend I haven't seen since high school, but it turned out he had relatives visiting and I had the wrong day for the event, so instead of the long drive east, we went to Red Apple Farm for their sunflower festival. There were, as expected, two big fields of sunflowers, and also early…
Another quick post because we got home late after tonight's Woosox game, which we decided to go to this morning so we headed out to Polar Park when Paul got home from Boston. There was a forecast for some rain but that lasted maybe 45 seconds, and otherwise it was a magnificent not-too-warm evening. We parked a few blocks away, walked to the stadium, I got a quite-good Beyond Burger and fries with…
Quick post after dinner and games in Fitchburg for Adam's brother-in-law Sagar's birthday, which was lots of fun! Ate Asian Imperial and cake, saw most of Hildy's family, got home in time to catch the end of my usual Thursday chat, but now I'm rushing to get ready for bed. I saw most of the Red Sox game this afternoon but will have to catch the replay of the start of the Field of Dreams game…
I had a pretty chatty Wednesday after a quiet morning mostly reading and fighting with antisemitic DSA morons online. After lunch I talked to Kay and Linda, then I did a bunch of filing, then I watched the second half of The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim with Cel and Laurie. We ate dinner when the movie finished, so it was cool in the early evening when we took a walk. Then we watched…
I had a quiet Tuesday morning, then went with Paul to a doctor's appointment at UMass Medical Center so I could hang out and catch Pokemon in downtown Worcester while he was getting poked and prodded. It was a gorgeous not-too-hot day, so we also took a walk, and though we only saw a couple of bunnies, we got the full fountain rainbow. My DS9 group watched "Explorers" -- the one which not only…
Monday was quiet around here, since I had to do all the chores that I didn't do over the weekend and Paul was working from home because the train line was under repair. I did laundry, uploaded all my weekend photos, got some writing done, took care of a bunch of computer stuff, and started reading The Beheading Game . We took a walk in the afternoon and saw six bunnies. The Red Sox (in Toronto)…
