Out with the Old, In with the New

I had a moment of awesomeness yesterday, wherein the new love interest sarcastically quoted the old love interest with perfect comic timing & reduced me to a giggling mess.

And don't feel bad for the old love interest - the quote in question was one in which he was putting me down to a mutual friend, behind my back.

As you were. ;)

Today's Moment of Zen

The sunset view over Great Bay from the General Sullivan bridge.

I've been wanting this picture for a long time now. Last night, I drove east over the bridge, realized the time, raced home for my camera, and raced back for the picture. Hurrah for adventures in photography!

While there, I encountered an older couple who rode over the bridge in their golf cart & parked at the peak with their coffee thermos to enjoy the view. If I end up spending a summer evening or two like that fifty years from now, I'll count myself very lucky indeed.

Overheard at Camp

So I'm being a camp counselor this week for a bunch of 6-8 year olds. It's been pretty awesome so far - 3 hours of crafts, outdoor play, and snacks every day.

Plus, kids really do say the darnedest things. Here are a few gems from the last few days:

• First boy: "How many miles are on your car?" Second boy: "I don't understand the question."
• Boy playing marble game (not actual marbles, but a guessing game using them): "I keep losing my marbles. Look, I lose more every second."
• Another boy: "I got bit by a spider & now I can jump really far. I still can't shoot webs, though."

Priceless. :)

All that Jeopardy finally paid off . . .

I'm writing this wearing my tied-for-first-place winning t-shirt. :)

My team, Nietzsche Contra Wagner, tied for first tonight at trivia night at Biddy Mulligans. I got a Smuttynose t-shirt & pint glass, which I am now proudly wearing/sitting next to.

Yay for us! :)

Kitties

I'm cheating today - yet again - with a picture post. Some of you may remember that my former landlord died in mid-March. The executors of his estate were able to take care of most things, including helping me relocate, but the question of his cats remained.

Now, I am emphatically not a cat person. I love dogs & their unquestioning loyalty. Cats have always turned me off with their gosh darn independence & cunning. However, I am also emphatically an animal person. So when the choice came down to the cats being put down or my new roomie & I adopting them, my choice was clear.

Meet Speedy (black) & Zane (grey), our "new" additions (we got them in April, but I'm just writing about it now). They're actually a lot sweeter & more personable in this house than they were next door, probably due to the trauma & stress of their owner's death. Either way, they're ours now & it's not too terrible. ;)

Oh Hell Yes

We just won the NBA championships! Can you believe it? :)
