Brunching Epiphanies

Impressions from an epiphanistic brunch at Cthulhia's:

Always good to know that a friend has a totally filled sheep, and that there are street-worthy bunny slippers out there. [being told I don't have two elbows]

Boggle while sitting on a cloud, Digger(s?) while sitting on the floor, tho ugh I suppose that's appropriate.

Finding out why Bitty had not been quite as pleased as I had when I bought that bar of chocolate (I'd like to point out that I'd just finished the other one when this new one arrived).

Hugs and kisses and backrubs.

Gifts that reminded me how thoughtful my friends are, not to mention Real Art . Now I have to make popovers, and read books, and hang art, and...

Contributing a challah and champagne; enjoying not only waffles, but potato kugel still hot from the oven, and (later) gingersnap ice cream cold from the freezer.

Word sillinesses

What do you call it when the day before was Easter and you baked bread?
Yeasterday.

Subaltern (n): the space under a generic altar (sub-altar n).

Red sky year

According to this Globe article, Mars is going to be closer to Earth than it has been in years.

Also, there's going to be a lunar eclipse starting just after 10 p.m. EDT, Thursday May 15."Totality will last 53 minutes, from 11:14 p.m. until 12:06 a.m. EDT..." Perhaps I shall go watch the heavens that night. Oh, and maybe this will give me impetus to figure out how to try to photograph night skies. (Hey, ZZBottom, would you know anything about this?)

(There's a second one this year, Saturday November 8th. I suspect it will be rather colder for standing around for an hour or more at night then.)
