The carousel at the Mall at Rockingham Park.

Today is going to be one of those crazy days where we all need to be in two places at once. I never quite appreciated how difficult it was for my parents to cart the three of us around to all of our various events.

I appreciate it now though!

I just signed up for the 2012 RPM Challenge.

Somehow doing so on Friday the 13th just seemed so right.

BRING IT ON!

It’s Friday the 13th.  It’s drizzling out and there is a lot of thick fog.  My 60+ mile drive to work only took about 1:45 today, but on a normal Friday it would have been a little bit quicker.  I think people were driving extra cautiously, not on account of the weather, but due to the raised bad luck potential.

The Bruins beat the Canadiens last night by a 2-1 score.  One odd thing about the game, Canadien forward Mike Cammalleri was traded to Calgary during the game.  He was pulled out of the line up after the second period and shipped off to Alberta for Rene Bourque.

Bourque has recently made a name for himself for being suspended for hits to the head.  Cammalleri apparently endeared himself to the Canadiens brass by saying that the team played like losers.  I guess that’s enough to get you shipped out of town mid-game.

I’ve heard of players being sat out of games because a trade was in the works, but I’ve never heard of a player being pulled during a game because of a trade.  Nice of the Canadiens GM to leave the team short handed against their biggest rival.  Not surprising though as this is the same guy who hired a non-French speaking coach and then showed faith in his new coach by telling the press it was a mistake.  Swell guy.

Why is Twitter awesome? Why does it rule the way it does?

Because someone on television wore a Letters to Cleo t-shirt tonight and “Letters to Cleo” turned up in the trending topics.

Not only that, but I was able to retweet tweets by two band members expressing their amazement.

That’s why Twitter rules.

Nerd boy started a new Flickr group for pictures of the Merrimack River. Wheeeeee!

I am so jealous I can’t even believe it. Overnight we had our first “snow” storm of 2012. The total accumulation is a little bit of slush that doesn’t even cover the dead grass in the front yard…

…and the kids have a snow day!

Granted their Dad has moved further north and their new school is about 10 miles away into the frosty northern tundra, but still.

I am SO jealous!

I want a snow day too.

One more picture from my little photo trip around town last Satuday.

What are you gonna do, ya know?

I set up a dopiaza generated Flickr set that is supposed to be made up of 20 random pictures and it should update daily.

I was bored. What can ya do?
