scottobearHappy Fat Tuesday!
In-laws came over and we all had pancakes for Dinner tonight - along with some deviled / boiled eggs, it made for a tasty end of the day.
Larry and I tried spotting the green comet Lulin tonight, but to no avail - the neighbor's house blocked out that part of the horizon. Maybe sometime this weekend, we can head out to the boardwalk and try to spot a section that isn't too lit up.

Word of the Day - EVOE! (from the Conception of Dionysus)
"Zeus stretched out on Semele's bed in the form of a bull with human limbs. Then he was a panther. Then a young man with vine shoots in his curls. Finally he settled into that most perfect of shapes: the serpent. Zeus prolonged their union like some story without end, a rehearsal of the life of the god about to be generated. The snake slithered over Semele's trembling body and gently licked her neck. Then, gripping her bust in one of his coils, wrapping her breasts in a scaly sash, he sprinkled her not with poison but with liquid honey. The snake was pressing his mouth against Semele's mouth, a dribble of nectar trickling down onto her lips intoxicated her, and all the while vine leaves were sprouting up on the bed and there was a sound of drums beating in the darkness. The earth laughed. Dionysus was conceived just as Zeus shouted the name with which for centuries he was to be evoked: 'Evoe!'"

That's all I've got. Until later, dear journal.
