Pretty shadowsCategory: weather
(E:terry) was out at a client's all day while I sat in the office and studied, watching the street traffic and sunshine. We have pretty shadows from all our pretty plants. A client gave us the neat print of a main street painting.

Bees & Cell phones?Category: ideas
(e:Terry) says he logged 48 hours of work this week; I was there for most of it AND I studied. I'm so sick of this. I slept through most of yesterday - took a little nap that lasted about six hours. At least we went to beer club on Wednesday. Next one is 3/14 - heads up to (e:MrMike) and (e:Uncutsaniflush)! Get your tickets early at Mr. Goodbar. March features stouts.

Why a mobile phone ring may make bees buzz off: Insects infuriated by handset signals
Signals from mobile phones could be partly to blame for the mysterious deaths of honeybees, new research shows.
In the first experiment of its kind, a bee expert placed a mobile phone underneath a hive and then carefully monitored the reaction of the workers.
The bees were able to tell when the handsets were making and receiving calls, and responded by making the high pitched squeaks that usually signal the start of swarming.

Not exactly a "fault" situation! Family before beer, certainly. Best if you can combine them. ;-)

Totally my fault this month. My 'rents were visiting for a slightly belated bday dinner.

I wonder if we humans will ever really figure out why the honey bees were dying in such numbers.

I had a scheduling conflict. The rents-in-law were in town on Wednesday to celebrate their lovely daughter's birthday (a day or two late because of (e:leetee)'s work schedule). Family before Beer.
Perhaps Ides of March eve will be the charm that gets me to Beer Night.

It's "blow" from Rock and Roll Heaven. Rock stars were always sloppy with their "coke".

Office elephantCategory: work
Happy bamboo-munching elephant :-)
(e:Terry) tried to install the plant hangers but ran into trouble with it.
We got this fabulous whiteboard cabinet from Buffalo Business Interiors but it needs some special attention before it can be hung. I've been using it anyway, sitting on the floor making pictures & lists. It has corkboards on the insides of the doors and hooks for hanging big pads of paper. It's really my dream whiteboard.

We have those... next sunny afternoon I'll give it a try.
Your office would make a great setting for a film-noir. All you need are shadows from Venetian blinds.
West!
