i considered typing all the text of this post into the pirate translator, but then i thought better of it. still, i'd like to say:


ahoy, have a fabulous day. aye, me parrot concurs.

and here is today's local bizarre story. very weird.

and finally, the lunch photos of the day!


boo's lunchbox, festooned with rogues gallery patches:

the picture i took of the actual lunchbox contents came out kind of weirdly unappetizing-looking, so i'll just describe them. i made calzones with homemade pesto and broccoli inside; blueberry muffins; and snow peas. i'm so happy that the cousins all have matching lunchboxes!
