(Clearing the bits and pieces; maybe I'll manage a paragraphed post soon :-)
Seen: the first bumblebee of the season.
Cooked this morning: artichokes with lemon and black pepper (likely overcooked, alas), roasted potatoes and onions (breakfast!), and roasted carrots and parsnips with cinnamon and black pepper (for Shabbat).
Upcoming events of interest:
Possible: there's a plan to make a south bay harbor trail in Boston. Cool if it works.
Done: everything on the list to do for Passover, except cooking (baked foods must be done before candlelighting tonight; I don't leave my oven on for chag), eruv tavshilin, and incapacitating the lightbulbs in the new fridge. (It's been oddly disorienting to have such a bright light when I open the fridge; I'd turned the bulbs off in the old one when I moved in, so I'm not at all used to it.)
Annoying: the eruv will be down this Shabbat and next Shabbat as well.
Note: I'll be offline tonight until Saturday night.

Upcoming events of interest:
- Mekudeshet: Sentenced to Marriage screening and discussion at the Sachar International Center, Brandeis, Wednesday April 26, 7 p.m., $8, shown as part of Jewishfilm 2006. I wish I could go.
- Lecture on nutritional supplements put on by Brigham and Women's, at Dana-Farber, 33 Binney St., Thursday, May 11, 7-8:30 p.m. (They have tons of lectures, etc, on health topics, at different locations around Boston.)
- Brandeis' one-day alumni college, a day of lectures on a variety of topics, Friday, June 9, $25 (includes lunch). I'm thinking about doing this, even though I wish they'd paired the lectures differently, because some of the choices are difficult. Any other B'deis alumns interested in joining me if I go?
