If only we could figure out how to harness him up, we’d have a new power source.

ASSEMBLED Artist Market tomorrow in Somerville!
Come see me tomorrow in Somerville! I’ll be back at ASSEMBLED. We had a great time last time and the weather should be great again.
My friend Kirby will be joining me again with her fantastic handmade bracelets and ear jewelry. WBZ radio is also covering the event and there’s even a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to certain vendors like Singing Stones Jewelry. Ahem.
Hope to see you there!

It’s Called Networking
And if you know anyone, anywhere or have any friends or family you can do it too!
Networking is how you can find a job, find an apartment without a pesky broker, or find a home for that cat who needs one. It is not about trading favors, it’s about knowing people. If you know people and have an email address, you too can network!
Ahem.
Do you like waffles?
I bet you do. Everybody likes waffles. Especially when they look like this.
I love the ocean, but this is why I don’t swim in it much
Don’t get me wrong, I can swim and I like swimming, but I don’t like taking my chances with those bitey fishies, and statistics be damned. I am sure that most people who get attacked probably think “it will never happen to me” but I don’t want to come out of the water looking like this seal.
When I was a kid, I used to spend more time out on the Cape, usually in the Eastham/Wellfleet area since my aunt and uncle had a place there. And Marconi Beach is a great beach, if you have never seen it. The sand is very fine and very firm and the surf is good, sometimes quite impressive.
So having spent a lot of time out there, I was a bit surprised to see that Marconi Beach was closed today after a shark was sighted a mere 30 yards from shore. The shark was spotted by an NPS lifeguard and confirmed by a park ranger. Since seals are sometimes seen around there, I am guessing it was probably a great white but they were unable to confirm the type.

Dear Internet: You are weird
One of the most fascinating things about having a blog is seeing what it is that brings people here. The other day a *really* strange search term popped up in our list of “why people come to KellyandGeoff.com.”
It was just too weird. So, in honor of the truly strange corners of the internet (and The Bloggess who had this idea first), I’ve gone back through the list and picked out some of the strangest, funniest, most terrifying and sometimes offensive search terms that brought you people to this blog. Granted, since I’m writing about them it’ll probably bring more of you here, but that’s OK. What is that they say about any publicity being good publicity? Yeah, that. I think.
Cooking is too much fun.
I have been cooking historical recipes for many years, mostly stuff from 18th and 19th century America. I like cooking anyway, and as a historian I find that sort of thing interesting on several levels. More recently I have been trying to make medieval recipes, and so for the last few years I have started picking up some medieval cookbooks and reading some stuff online about it. It seems a lot more difficult, I think. And although I have managed to successfully make a few things (this spinach tart turned out really well, I think), I have just not found a lot of medieval recipes that really made me want to try them.
Until a few weeks ago, when Kelly got me A Feast of Ice and Fire: The Official Game of Thrones Companion Cookbook.
Learn something
So Shakay sent us a link to Mental Floss. This is a website I’d heard of but not spent much time on. After reading a couple of things, one of which was about Bronies in the Air Force, I think I’ll be visiting there more regularly.
