Saturday Morning
Just sitting at home having a quiet Saturday morning. Watching The X-Files (the space shuttle episode from season one is pretty terrible, isn’t it?) and trying to get the cats to come hang out with me.
We won’t be going to the Hockey East Finals game tonight. UMass Lowell lost in overtime. Double overtime, I think. My brother’s old school, Merrimack College beat us. I think I’ll be rooting for Merrimack tonight. If my team can’t win it, his team should. The word on the street is that Hockey East is probably only going to get one team into the national tournament this year. I don’t remember what the reasoning behind that was, but I think I read an article on USCHO that mentioned it.
Mulder was just taking photos of an army secret thingie and he got jumped by a soldier. The camera markings were blacked out so I can’t tell what model it was. The lens looked a little similar to my father’s cheap zoom lens. It was different, but similar. Not quite as ground breaking as seeing Dad’s camera on an episode of Stranger Things, but fun nonetheless.
Exploration
The cats have been given permission to explore the cellar.
I didn’t get a picture of Lily, but she did just jump onto my desk.
Bertha: Still Growing
Bertha the plant clipping is still growing. I paid attention over the last week or so and this branch at the end here is 100% brand new growth. Good job, plant!
Mickey Mouse Watch
There was a time in the long distant past where I really wanted a Mickey Mouse watch. My sister had one, I think. I wanted one too. I have an Apple Watch now, and the first watch face I used on it was the Mickey Mouse face. It’s still one of the few that I use.
Even More Cat Pictures
Hanging Out
I needed a photo a day picture. The cats obliged.
Swampy Looking Lake
Can you see the ducks? They were pretty well camouflaged, but there are a bunch of them in the shot.
Route 28 Sunset

Ocean
My last photo of the Atlantic Ocean was taken at Daytona Beach in Florida. The next one will probably be Salisbury Beach in Massachusetts, or maybe Hampton Beach in New Hampshire. I just need the temps to be a little warmer before I go for a visit.
Pretty stoked that I got that bird in the shot, even though you can barely see it or tell what it is. It’s there. Nice job, Robert.
