Had some preserves, so had to make a loaf of bread... and then had some bread, so had to make preserves... and then &c. &c.

Dog peed on her bed in the living room. Cat snuck into, got trapped in, and peed in the closet. Other cat barfed. Dog had diarrhea (outside, at least). Happy Pet Effluvia Day. 🙃

Sad that the Living Computers: Museum+Lab in Seattle is closed for good. OTOH, many of the artifacts are up for auction, so if you've ever wanted anything from a Newton MessagePad to a Cray-1, now's your chance: https://t.co/6Ou28yIk3L

Slid down the rabbit hole of differentiating herbs used in za'atar (The Hebrew "ezov" translates to hyssop, but is probably closer to the Origanum syriacum used in versions of the spice mixture, rather than the modern Hyssopus officinalis).

Lift every voice and sing,
'Til earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.

I am such a pushover. (Orange cat got a tiny bit of lox from my bagel sandwich.)

When St. Patrick's Day hands you leftover lamb roast, make gyros.

Having my last biscotti with my afternoon espresso. Have to figure out what my future afternoon snacks will be. Maybe a case of "Biscoff" cookies so I can pretend I'm on a flight.

Making the fancee cranberry sauce for tomorrow. My kitchen smells of allspice, cinnamon, cloves, oranges, vanilla bean, and red wine. This is not a complaint.

Seemed an appropriate way to toast the last regularly scheduled run of a "legacy" BART train.

[BART @SFBART]

The last scheduled old boi sits across the platform from a new train at SFO Station before heading to Millbrae. 😢

My current unpacking doggerel: "Ohlook a box o' books! And another box o' books. What's this, a box o' books? Why'd'I have so many books?"

[Byron O'Brien @byronium]

Adventures in Moving: how many boxes will I find that I marked "MISC"?
