This selfie from Tuesday shows that my hat is usually crooked (usually because my ipod is tucked under it) and that I am currently on shaving strike until I deem that winter is done.
Here's the world's largest rodent looking small.

An old friend zookeeper who now works for Capron Park Zoo came and visited with one of her new coworkers!
HEY I want to pose with Sage too!
Also This Week
Mar. 29th, 2013 09:06 pmWhen my brother and my father and I were in Los Angeles, we saw Sara Watkins and her brother Sean and an amazing band play as the Watkins Family Hour. We all dug the music, but the country-inflected singer/songwriter vibe is right in my dad's sweet spot, musically speaking. We spoke with some of the members of the band afterward, and asked if they would be coming to New England. They said no, but upon reflection, I think they thought we were asking about the Watkins Family Hour, which seems to be a special project that only takes place at Largo.
Fortunately I thought to google up the Watkins family and like 'em each individually on facebook. So as it turns out, Sara is touring on her album Sun Midnight Sun and playing in a new spot in Harvard Square. Long story short: my dad and I went to see her on Monday. Story made better: Sean Watkins was there too. So it was as close to seeing the Watkins Family Hour again without making the trip back to California as we could hope.
Here are some videos (not mine) that capture the feel pretty well. (Initially I wanted to make this post about how I seem to like some country music as long as it feels a certain way to me, but I've strayed from that point, and Sara's music--especially as it appears on the CD--isn't all that country. Besides I don't want to start a discussion about the difference between bluegrass and country, because I'm way over my head.)
This reminds me so much of the way RAchelle and Katie used to sing this song, gives me goosebumps.
