The closest I will ever get to owning a restaurant

Those of you who are regular readers know that Geoff and I love food.  We love to eat it, to cook it, to bake it.  We have more cookbooks than we have room to store them.  Sometimes I think this blog is in danger of becoming a food blog.  Or, at least, a blog about our favorite restaurant.  Ahem.

Kittehs in love

Of all of our furry children, Bucky (Buckminster Charles the III), is probably the most personable.  He loves people, is always around to greet newcomers, and can often be seen sitting in the window.  Years ago, when I lived on Beacon Hill in an apartment with a completely enclosed courtyard, he was often known to not only go window to window and visit my neighbors, but also to leap vertically to the second story and sit on their window sills to make his presence known.  He has always been very smart, an amazing athlete, and on top of everything around him.

Giant Men and Flying Furniture

We were on our way home from taking Thumbelina to the vet* yesterday when I spotted a couple of guys from Gentle Giant on Binney Street in Cambridge in the middle of a move.  Rerun was in my lap and I pointed them out to him and we waved in our typical dorky “I have a dachshund in my lap “way.  It was then that I was reminded that I’d promised the Gentle Giant folks that I would post these pictures.

More Sox!

I’m popping in from headache land to post some more Sox photos from the game on Sunday.

Our new starting pitcher, Kyle Weiland, in action.

Paps makes his entrance from the bullpen.  Gotta love the music.

There's a reason they play the beginning of the "Jaws" music when he comes out.
Papelbon takes the mound.
He was throwing 96 mph Fastballs. Consistently.
Papelbon in action.

I like Papelbon, can you tell?  The two Sox shirts I have are Big Papi and Papelbon.

Ok, there’s work to be done.  More later.

Woof vs. Meow

I’ve always considered myself more of an Animal Person rather than a Cat Person or Dog Person.  Those terms always felt too exclusionary too me.  So I found this little thing interesting when it came through my feed today and I thought I’d share it with all of you.  Where do you fall?

Cat Person, Dog Person, or Animal Person?
Quite the chart. Where do you end up?

Of course it doesn’t mention anything about small mammals.  Or snakes.  Do they count as “Exotics?”  I wonder where my work at the museum with raptors and alligators puts me?  Hmmmmm…..

Amanda is traveling, lucky us

My friend and bridesmaid, Amanda, is currently in the South of France.  She’s blogging her adventures here.  She’s an excellent writer, photographer, and she’s a total foodie.  If you are at all interested in hearing about excellent meals, how to make them, and seeing photos of old churches and the hills and valleys of Provence (and who isn’t, really?) I highly suggest you bookmark the blog and check it every so often.  She’ll be there for about 3 weeks.
