Or 10,000 lakes.
Apparently Michelle Bachmann said she’d leave the state if this passed. I can’t wait to see the moving trucks arrive. I wonder where she’ll go?

Cambridge Open Studios this weekend!
Come see Singing Stones Jewelry this weekend at Cambridge Open Studios.
I’m participating this weekend and will be at location #35. There will be a shuttle running both days to allow people to get to all of the locations on the map.
To download the brochure for the entire weekend click here.
I’ll have plenty of great Mother’s Day and Graduation gifts and I’ll be designing and working on site. I hope to see you there. We’ll be open each day from 12-6.

Marriage Equality- Waiting for Godot The Supremes
HRC summarizes reasonably well what we’re waiting for when Godot The Supreme Court comes down with their ruling on Prop 8 and on DOMA. Check it out and share it (below the cut). Everyone needs to understand that this is about Civil Rights, not The Homosexual Agenda.
How today’s announcement by NBA player Jason Collins will affect the general atmosphere around the ruling is unclear. He came out and admitted that he is gay. He’s the first pro sports player in one of the four major sports (MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL) to do this while still playing.

Boston Strong
It’s been a little over a week since downtown blew up and everything went to hell, but since then Boston Strong has become the catchphrase for how we’ve all held up. The whole tough New Englander attitude, some would say “crusty”, is well known. We’re tough people and down through generations we’ve been through a lot.
I have no idea who it was who coined the phrase. I hope it wasn’t some marketing VP somewhere who’s made a mint from it. It has helped, and it has spawned Watertown Strong and Collier Strong, on their own indications of what we’ve been through separately and together and how we’ll persevere.
Check out some of the images, below the cut, that have come up in the last week plus that I’ve liked the best or that I think are the funniest representation of Boston Strong.
King’s Chapel on the news
We opened early today – about 8 AM – and stayed open until about 7 PM, when our second service ended. So a long day today. But a reporter from Channel 6 in Providence stopped in to talk to our new minister as well as a few Marathon runners. You may see yours truly doing security in the background.

Reporting in from Boston
This is a quick post to let people who have been calling and emailing from near and far know that we’re OK. We were driving back from Boston when the bombing happened. The Cambridge EMS, Fire, and Hazmat were screaming past in the other direction and I casually wondered if there’d been a bomb threat. Oops.
We’ve heard from one friend who ran today and he finished and cleared the area before the bombs went off.
I’m sure there will be more information and more to post about later. Stay safe, everyone.
Kelly & Geoff

This is considered an “ongoing event.” AKA: the city is under attack as I write this. The most recent bombing was a half hour ago.
ETA: This photo. Wow.
ETA: From the Globe. Sometimes you don’t need words.
Easter photos
Easter is a special time of year at King’s Chapel, as it is the only time that the stained glass window is visible. So Saturday night I opened up the shutters, and then Easter morning I got a picture when the morning sun was shining through it.
I took some pictures of all the Easter flowers too. You can see them below the cut.
I don’t believe this needs any explanation
At all.

Happy Valentine’s Day
Most of you know that I’m not a big Valentine’s Day fan. Despite the fact that I’m married I’m still not a big fan. I think today is mostly about Hallmark and chocolate companies making money and about making people feel guilty about having to buy some over-hyped and over-expensive gift for someone else. It’s also death for a relationship that’s beginning or in trouble.
That being said, there’s nothing like cute animals and Grumpy Cat to make me smile. So, I bring you our Valentine. This year I didn’t even put it together in the spirit of the Valentine’s Day Massacre! Progress?
How to know when you’ve been watching too much Downton Abbey
Last week my mother and I were talking on the phone and she mentioned how she and my dad are fans of Downton Abbey. I mentioned that Geoff and I had never seen it. Not one episode.
That could not stand, so my mother shipped us season 1 and 2 on DVD. They arrived just before Nemo did. We watched all of them during the storm. We may have over done it a touch.
