Well, Rory has seen a lot in is trip at HMNH. It’s taken four previous posts that you can view here, here, here, and here. This is the last in the HMNH series. Rory had a very busy day, but, as you’ll see, he got quite a sendoff from the staff when it was time to go home.
But first, more flowers.

Rory has made his way through much of HMNH at this point. In my previous posts, he’s seen much of what the museum has to offer and even got a “backstage entrance”. Thus far we haven’t seen Rory’s visit to the crown jewel of the HMNH collection, the Glass Flowers.

This is the third post in a series about Rory’s trip to HMNH. This is the final taxidermy post and, as promised, there are some old friends in these halls. Today’s photos are from New England Forests, The Great Mammal Hall, and the Arthropod Gallery.
We’ll start in New England Forests.

In case it wasn’t clear from the title of this post, I’m going to use the word Hell a lot. Mom, you might want to turn back now. “Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate.*“
I left work today to go to my monthly massage appointment. I can tell you right now that the massage was absolutely not what inspired this post. The massage was divine and I feel SO much better.
It was the walk from the Chiropractic Office back to Kendall Sq to catch the shuttle that got me thinking. What the Hell is up?
Well. Where to begin?
I guess you could say the last few episodes of Game of Thrones have been eventful, to put it mildly. And since I have started my new job (not to mention my part-time academy class), I have not done a lot of writing here on our blog. So it’s time to do some catching up.

I am a big fan of The Young Turks, and I really like the What the Flick? reviews of Game of Thrones. I have been watching their reviews of the Season Five episodes, and one conversation intrigued me. Cenk Ugyur made a comment that he missed some of the bad guys that died in Season Four, especially Joffrey (whom he particularly loathed) and Tywin Lannister. That led to an interesting debate over who was more evil, and they even asked in the comments, “Who is more evil: Tywin Lannister or Littlefinger?”
That got me thinking about my own views of who the most evil people are in Westeros now that Joffrey, Lord Tywin, and the Mountain are dead. And there are definitely some good candidates.

This most recent episode, “Kill the Boy”, featured the goings-on in the North quite a bit, so needless to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. We seem to be moving ever closer towards the confrontation between Stannis and the Boltons. Winter is indeed coming.

I mentioned in my last post that SNL had done a skit about Game of Thrones, and after doing some surfing around I discovered that a few other shows had been talking about our favorite TV show as well.
Well, the weather has finally warmed up enough that I can reasonably wear shorts outside. Most of the snow piles have disappeared. This nasty winter seems to have claimed what I hope is its last casualty: my truck.
