March 2009 Archives

It has been noted previously that T-shirts remain in my wardrobe well beyond any fashionable duration. Besides BUDA T's, there are some former-company shirts. Besides being one of my few long sleeved T's, the shirt worn today, late of Intrusic, always gets a lot of reads as I go about my day at work. Such attention feels odd to me, as it is rare. Tonight my attire also got a thumbs up from the fellow behind the deli counter at the supermarket. As spring has not arrived yet, I had to shed my winter coat to allow his reading the tag line on the back.

Not knowing it.

We jumped on the chance to get outside on a couple of relatively warm days we caught here at the end of the first week of March. Saturday found us at the Stone Zoo. Some of the animals there need warmer weather, but we did catch sight of some of attractions: snow leopard, jaguar, black bears, and more. Incongruously, they have a flock (or is there another word for that?) of flamingos, who apparently do adapt well to our chillier clime.

While we brought the stroller, Josie got carried through most of the visit. The zoo grounds were wet and muddy, so she didn't get down much to walk and sully her new kicks. But she did like to push her stroller. It rolls pretty well! Check out this video.

Dilbert.com had an "embed" button, so I am assuming posting this doesn't ruffle any copyright feathers. But my blog page clips the last panel. Ironically, it says "That worked too well." Click through to see the whole strip.

Karen and I visited Josie, Jen, and Jordi on Sunday. We had a little cake and Josie showed us her new good habit: teeth brushing. She is pretty thorough, although with only six teeth to tend to, she can afford the time. Josie does look very serious about this process. Or maybe she is just wondering why I am snapping yet another picture.

Jen tells me she too has a tooth brushing photo to post. But she has been snoozing and now I have beaten her to it. Well, not snoozing, Jen's been under the weather and otherwise quite busy.
