9425 – Sunday

Better Walkies today – cooler weather – lady with cats in a screened in stroller (Abby and Gabby – her name was Merle), spent much of the day at home.

Adam paid a visit, brought Chinese food. Played some Wii / lego star wars, took it easy.

Additionally, we saw the polydactyl cats who were more than friendly and lovable – they flop over and show belly for petting as soon as we get within 10 feet of them. clicks embiggen as always. I think the white belly is pregnant. Are mitten-footed cats just more friendly? I seem to recall the ones in the Keys to be especially lovey, too.

Chewing on a bagel yanked out my filling and root canal. I now have a pretty big hole in my jaw – not painful, but after calling Dr Wolf, I’m to keep food out as best I can, and call him on Monday for an appointment – this was the tooth that was going to ge tthe crown, so I guess I may have more than two appointments ahead of me now (1 for temp crown, one to install perm)

9424 – Saturday

Minor walkies in the heavy rain – got too wet and my back wasn’t into the march, so we headed home a bit early. Found a nice grove to walk down. – Stayed in due to rain most of the day.

Larry and Chris came over – they had cabin fever – brought pizza  – I was pretty kaput, but doing ok.

Got a few phone calls –  my mom worried about Ike / spoke with Amy about coming down next weekend.

9421 – Thursday

oh, dear U-pop – how we miss you from our element. soon, you’ll be gone due to Christmas music taking your xm car slot… I hope you return after the holidays!

Saw Tropic Thunder tonight – it was better than it might’ve been, but I was fooled by previews, and didn’t get as good a show as expected. Jack Black and Ben Stiller didn’t do much for me, but I was impressed by ol’ Downey and Nolte. We had a nice Thursday night date, anyhow! BHK got her allotment of popcorn and I enjoyed a soft pretzel and some crunch bar bites.



An analysis of the three major types of gravestone motifs used in eastern Massachusetts during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

The earliest of the three is a winged death’s head, with blank eyes and a grinning visage. Earlier versions are quite ornate, but as time passes, they become less elaborate. Sometime during the eighteenth century — the time varies according to location — the grim death’s head designs are replaced, more or less quickly, by winged cherubs. This design also goes through a gradual simplification of form with time. By the late 1700’s or early 1800’s, again depending on where you are observing, the cherubs are replaced by stones decorated with a willow tree overhanging a pedestaled urn.

Pay special attention to the graph of the popularity of each motif and the slideshow of example gravestones. (thx, peterme)
