“Obsessed with guns much?”
That was about all Geoff and I had to say when this arrived in my inbox today. Courtesy of Etsy, naturally, I had to click through to the seller and see if this was for real.
It is.

This is Bruce.

He’s in Florida and he needs a new home. There are more details about him here. There is one potential adopter located here in MA, but that would require a creative and rather long transport.
If you’re interested in adopting Bruce, the foster Mom, Colleen, can be reached through the link above.
Thanks!

The election is over, the results are in (glares pointedly at Florida) and the numbers are good. If you know me you know I generally don’t like numbers. Or math, anyway. For your edification, I share this.
Mark Twain had a lot of wonderful witty things to say about New England weather, and the most relevant (and true) for today would certainly be this one, from a speech he gave in 1876:

I took these photos on the way home from work on Halloween. I just happened to notice that the light, trees and the clouds were just right. I only had my cell phone but this is what I got.
From our family to yours.

Happy Halloween. Remember, tonight when the veils between this world and the next are thinnest, there are a few things you need to know to keep safe.
Always Aim for the Head and The Double Tap.

And it has nothing to do whatsoever with the storm.
As you probably have heard by now, most of the eastern seaboard is dealing with a little storm. There are a lot of closures and various emergencies being declared including right here in MA. Tonight I was at a party after work for a retiring colleague when my boss, at the request of another coworker, pulled up the MFA website on her phone to see if they were closed tomorrow. This is what she saw.
This link came to my attention today. Jennifer Lester, the founding music director of The Seraphim Singers and a friend of mine, was interviewed about her 15 year tenure at the helm of Seraphim. It’s a great read and I recommend it for you music nerds out there, and I know you’re out there. Also, there’s a concert coming up. More about that after the jump.

That means that it’s time to save a life.
