Beautiful flowers and colorful veggies at Pemberton Farms in Cambridge


7:40 PM Phil
Hope your day was grand!

8:17 PM Sassy
I had fun! and I wasn’t at work!!

8:43 PM Sassy
You behaving?

9:30 PM Phil
Just watching tv

9:41 PM Sassy
Ah… I’m working on a community project

We have a grad student studying our history, so my sister decided it would be a good idea to have all our meeting minutes on one place online for her to reference.

So I’ve been wandering back through my email searching for the meeting notes and uploading them to a Google drive folder

I’ve done 2004-5, then 2008-present

So I just have 2006 and 2007 to go

But I don’t want to do anymore tonight!

9:55 PM Phil
Sounds like too much work!

9:57 PM Sassy
What’ve you been watching?

9:57 PM Phil
NCIS

9:57 PM Sassy
Still good?

9:57 PM Phil
I think so

10:01 PM Sassy
Cool!

10:01 PM Phil
Love trying to solve the cases

10:02 PM Sassy
Nifty!

10:05 PM Phil
Why I enjoy it, kinda fun when I do it before they tell

10:07 PM Sassy
Do you know your credit score? I just looked mine up

10:31 PM Phil
Yeah, sure do

10:33 PM Sassy
Good. My Citi credit card emails me every time it changes.
My Chase card got hacked yesterday, so I thought that might make it go down, but it made it go up!

10:34 PM Phil
That’s a good thing

10:34 PM Sassy
Yep. Not sure I will ever need it again but always good to watch over it.

8:39 AM Sassy
What was your crime?

8:39 AM Phil
Taking his picture. He’s not a fan

2:28 PM Sassy

Who has two thumbs and her very own HRC action figure? 

This gal! ME! Because it made me smile.

Ever meet that top military brass who turned down Trump’s offer?

3:38 PM Phil
No, I don’t spend much time with that part of things but hear he is a good guy. Would have been good at the job.

3:45 PM Sassy
Too bad they wouldn’t let him do it his way

3:54 PM Phil
Yeah, he would have been good

4:36 PM Phil
Qualified, respected and honest.
Not exactly the political way

4:38 PM Sassy
Sad but true.

7:55 PM Sassy
Another busy Friday night at my place.

The academic research explanations seem iffy, but it’s interesting to see that thinking about the first one is a thing.

Why we never really get over that first love


“…it’s not just about the other person. It’s about who we were at that time,” he says. “We’re relishing the image of ourselves. They give us license to be the person we were once again – young and vibrant and beautiful.””

Bye bye Bao Bao

Bye bye Bao Bao. On to China!


The zoo — and Washington — prepares to say goodbye to its ‘miracle’ giant panda

The transfers are part of a long-standing arrangement with China, whereby any giant panda cubs born in the United States must go to China around age 4 to breed. China owns all giant pandas in the United States and leases them to American zoos.

Awww…thanks Philip. Mwah!

12:40 AM Sassy
Here’s my chance to drool over the various men who have played Mr. Darcy, and learn about what the academics think he may have looked like.

‘Real’ Mr Darcy was nothing like Colin Firth, academics say


The ‘historically accurate’ portrait of Mr Darcy looks starkly
 different to Colin Firth who portrayed him in the BBC drama
