Beautiful sun, air still cold. Ambivalent spring. Took the boys to campus for a wander. This is from the school’s sculpture garden, a detail tucked away in a tiny hedge maze. Based on available evidence, the secrets are that people 1) hide themselves in it and 2) smoke. I know that there are some readers of this site who do not use Flickr, and while I cannot claim to understand anyone who is not all down with the Flickr, I do get that some don’t get it. But I know that the Flickr-literate enjoy the advantage of knowing that even when we are [...] Today we looked at the latest batch of emailed photographs of flats we might end up inhabiting in less than a month.

If it’s not the dye but all those eggs that you’re looking to re-purpose, I’ve got a suggestion for that in the comments thread of the previous post. Adam’s aigs This one feels awfully early. Adam was amazed, entranced, and confounded by the concept of coloring eggs, though not opposed. “I am going to colol those eggs, yes, YES! But what are dey FOR, papa?” he wanted to know. “What are dey FOR?” [Egg salad.] From the files: Jane sent me a macro-coupling ring back in July.
