A staple of Euro-style board games — lots of little wooden pieces!  I think that big white cylinder was called “the provost”.

Flat Cat joins me for a Speed Geek presentation about library inventory.  (What’s wrong with those call numbers?)

I know this is a lot of cat photos recently, but I can’t help it.  She’s adorable.  And I love when she sleeps with her head upside down.

“Soldering iron”, eh?  I wonder what they really used.  (This looks like a candidate for the “blog” of “unnecessary” quotation marks.)

Cammy also likes puzzles.

Cammy likes the floofy bedspread.  It is a good one.

Tonight we played a Phineas and Ferb card game, the most fun part of which was the physical challenges (Who can throw their card the furthest?).  Actually the mandatory impressions of various characters were pretty good too.

This tape label has over half of its real estate taken up by technical (rights) metadata.  They take those rights seriously!  

It’s a good day that starts with a BIG MESS.

One of my bridesmaids made us this lovely gift: she framed our wedding invitation!  Neither of us typically remembers our anniversary date, so it’s nice to have somewhere we know we can look to find it.
