My office just moved from an college campus in the city to downtown Boston, among the office high rises. I like the location in that there are many services and restaurants right outside our door. But I am not accustomed to being around office workers. It feels a bit odd. I am a fish out of water.
I can’t wait until Bigfoot is photographed conclusively. I believe!
Check out this amazing sighting in Washington State!
I know a couple of people with long-term Lyme disease. Here’s a site that could be helpful if you know anyone with this condition.
Have you ever used Square? It’s that little device that attaches to smartphones that retailers use to accept credit card payments on the fly. Well, Square has just decided to reject sales of guns and ammo using its device. Specifically, they amended its terms of service for retailers last week to ban sales of “firearms, firearm parts or hardware, and ammunition; or… weapons and other devices designed to cause physical injury. I couldn’t be more pleased. See, America? It’s not just about who makes the most money before they die. It can be about having life-loving values, too. Bravo, Square! I hope more companies follow suit.
I’ve never been married, but I sure could use:
I am thinking of scheduling a shower and signing up on gift registry so I can get the stuff everyone else gets just because they decided to get married.

I went to a talk last night by a big engineer with the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, who schooled the audience in how Boston gets its drinking water. Turns out that unlike many other communities, our water is free of all that gross pharmaceuticals pollution. And our water comes from the Quabbin Reservoir, which is a large, freshwater source (see photo). And he told us about how sewage gets cleaned up. I asked him if I need a Brita-type filter for my tap water at home. He said nope. He doesn’t even use one. All in all, I felt pretty good.
I like the expression, “As rare as hen’s teeth.” They don’t have teeth, so that’s quite rare.
I was surprised, no, shocked, to hear that Martha Stewart is using Match.com. She wants to find a boyfriend. Funny, I always thought she was a lesbian. But whatever. I find it intriguing that even celebrities have trouble meeting the right person.
