I made a few jokes at our robot overlord's expense yesterday, and now... this.
I'm sorry.

As you all know, I’m a transit nerd. And I’m a huge fan of the MBTA. Yesterday, husband took me to an MBTA antique and memorabilia shop near Porter Square that I didn’t know existed. (I mostly controlled my myself.)
Also, I got this awesome new mug.

I need you all to see the cutest thing. I put a dog bed under my desk to get it out of the way and accidentally created the most coveted piece of real estate in my office. All three boys want it. But the old man wins.

I needed to clear my head for a few minutes yesterday so I went to the first public beach in America and let the sound of the crashing waves soothe my soul.

This is the face of a dog who just came to tell me it’s noon, and that means it’s time for his lunch.
