Cute In The Dark

Cute In The Dark

I checked.  She’s cute even when it’s dark.

It was a gorgeous sunny day.  After some reflection on what today means to us, be it Remembrance Day or Veterans Day, we tumbled out the door to catch some vitamin D.  Lately we’ve been snugging Pepper into the Baby Bjorn but today was so beautiful we wanted her to see a bit of it.  So into the car seat/stroller she went.  The sun was warm but the shade was a cool, so she was layered in with sweater and snuggly fleece wrap thingy.  Cozy, is what I’m getting at.  It was hard to tell if she was actually “enjoying” the sights.  The way her little body settles into the car seat she looks a little like the Emperor brooding on his throne in Return of the Jedi.  Especially when her fingers are doing that fiendish plot thing.  But she seemed content to be wheeled around for an hour.  So that was nice.

We walked past a pub owned by a couple that lives in our building.  We were expecting Alewife to be closed up for flood repairs – the water all around here was four and five feet deep.  But they are open with a limited menu and a friendly caution not to trip over the buckled floor planks.  I think the room is great, and the beer will do just fine.  Delicious wings.  It’s only a short walk – we will definitely be back.  Gotta support your neighbors.  Doubly so if there’s beer involved.

Tomorrow is a holiday for many.  For those that get them.  I’m a little spoiled in that, holiday or work day, I love my job.  Plus, of course, I get holidays.  Tomorrow I’ll either be supervising a major website migration, or I’ll do some pre-production for a quick shoot on Tuesday, and once we’re done the pre-pro we’ll get back to work on the super secret tv project.  A big reason I love my job is that I get to wear so many hats.  Did you ever take one of those career finder tests in high school?  Those ones that are supposed to help you figure out what sort of job you’d enjoy?  I tried a few times, but always broke the system.  Go figure.

I think things turned out alright.
