We saw the original Pooh at the New York Public Library. My favorite part was watching the delight on adult faces looking at a beloved childhood friend. Also, Tigger!

I’ve started feeding the crows in my neighborhood peanuts and I’ve had these trinkets for a year now. I put some out last week and they took them all. They’re by the same company that does Bee Cups.

One is heart shaped and another is a stylized square flower. they each have dabs of ultraviolet ceramic glaze and each has a hole in the middle to make it easier for crows to pick

Random CD Listening Project, Session 2. Today it's M and it's Liza Minnelli's 1989 album, "Results" produced by the Pet Shop Boys and Julian Mendelsohn. A blend of Liza's cabaret style and dance floor beats. Let's see if it holds up or feels as dated as a Nagel painting and parachute pants.
