Let’s take a closer look at this jaunty wooden skeleton from my earlier #introduction - It was originally part of a cabinet of curiosities alongside items such as sculptures and globes. The skeleton holds an hourglass - a reminder of the transience of time. It appeared in a 1772 inventory of Basel's Faesch Museum and can now be found in Basel Historical Museum #skeleton #MementoMori #history #histodons #hourglass #sculpture

I have two prescriptions of glasses, far and computer, and a backup of *each*. Guess who brought with him two of one kind, and one of the other.

I was wearing my faraway glasses, needed the others, then fished around in my bag for the other ones. Put far glasses in the case, pulled out the "near" ones.

Wait wait no, these aren't the right ones. So I go back into my bag and pull out the *same* case again.

How many swaps do you think it took Yer Boi Einstein to actually get the right ones?

I am going to hate the winter most of all. Last year, I thought I was singularly unimpressed with winter. That was true. When I want a pretty picture of new snow and urchins having the time of their lives, dogs running, et al, I'll buy a stock photo. brb, getting a few coasters for my sour grapes cocktails I've got lined up. I'm turning my bedroom into a very soft, very dark, very warm place. Soon.

The number of those little persian cucumbers is a very, very high number. Especially with hummus.
finding recent photos that I took while on walks, or near lakes. As winter sets in, I instantly think how much better it is when I'm not cold. (I'll get over it in a few weeks.)
