How strange is this?
Last week there were two posts on my friends list about missing cats. The posts came right after one another on the same day -- mind you these people (and cats) live thousands of miles apart. I've been following the two different missing-cat sagas for days ( Read more... ) -
That was so much fun!
I had a great time at tonight's concert. I knew lots of people in the audience, and it was just fun! Today was the "unofficial" concert (a fundraiser for the UU church where we rehearse) and tomorrow is our official concert in Boston. I'm looking forward to doing it all again tomorrow! And there are still tickets available if any local-to-Boston ( Read more... ) -
Nature walk photos :-)
As I said in my previous post, on sunday I had the privilege of being able to take part in one of urbpan's nature walks. This one was at Mt. Auburn Cemetery, which is also an aboretum.

Today's public service announcement
I just saw this in someone's LJ and just had to share it here.
In response to heat they're getting from the American Family Association, P&G is conducting a phone poll to see if people are for or against the Luke/Noah storyline on As The World Turns. Even if you don't watch the show, please consider taking a quick moment to support boy kissing and ( Read more... ) -
Tea
If you re-steep the same tea bag you used for your first cup of tea, does it count as a second cup of tea (caffeine-wise)? Or is it still your first cup of tea, just extended? -

I took today as a vacation day -- very much needed! I spent the morning doing laundry and futzing around on Torchwood communities, posting the story I wrote on saturday (which was scary but the feedback's been really nice.) etc ( Read more... ) -
A few birdies
As I mentioned in a post yesterday, on sunday I actually left the house and took a walk! It wasn't as warm as today (a remarkable 50F/10C) but it wasn't bitter cold or sleeting or any other horrors. I walked to the nearby Mystic River and here's what I saw.

Lunar eclipse
Oh wow, the moon looks absolutely gorgeous - we lucked out with such a clear night. I know one of those twinkles of light near the moon is actually Saturn, not sure which one. (The brightest, perhaps?) I've been outside twice, looking at it until I'm freezing cold (which doesn't take long since it's quite cold out there.) I can see the moon through ( Read more... ) -
Happy Groundhog Day!
Of course the groundhog saw his shadow today, meaning six more weeks of winter. (Or, I suppose, six more weeks of summer for those of you below the equator! Does it work that way too? :-) ) Eh, whatever... it means we are at the winter halfway mark here...it's getting noticeably lighter outside, and Spring will come!!! Yes!!! -
Trip report: January 8 - the best day of the trip!!!
On Tuesday, January 8, we left Cardiff and took the train to Birmingham, checking our luggage at the station and heading to the Hippodrome to see John Barrowman in a Panto of "Alladin". I had no idea the Panto itself was going to be so fabulous. For my American readers (who are sadly without this art form because they don't do Pantomimes here in ( Read more... )
