changing it up just a little

I had to do it. I was getting a little tired of the old look and had to redecorate. Natae, I think this is a lot like yours. It's too bad that there are only a few options, but this is a nice one. And I want to be like you.

I got back from Maine this weekend, and had the most fabulous time. Dori and I stayed with Deb in Vinalhaven- a teeny tiny island off the coast near Rockland. It's about a 4 hour drive from Boston, and I'm waiting for some pictures to come in. But I would strongly recommend the trip for anyone who wants to completely get away. There was barely a gas pump on the island, and I think an ATM came to the island last year. And there were puffins everywhere. You know the birds that are the beneficiaries of the Puffin cereal that is so yummy? All over the place, flying around. We swam in a quarry, took several walks in the woods and saw amazing coastline. So pretty. Hopefully we'll be able to go back soon.

I also finished Harry Potter last weekend. I have to say that I'm relieved to know how it all ends, and can now start the process of re-reading the book so I can better understand what's been going on.

How's everything with you guys?

Perhaps this is a bit off-topic, but you just reminded me of something. See the following paragraph from Wikipedia:

Opus' appearance has changed dramatically since his inception - he originally looked like a common penguin, but between 1982 and 1986 his nose grew dramatically (developing its signature bump in the middle, of which Opus is very self-conscious). Mike Binkley, during one Sunday strip, points out the fact that Opus more closely resembles a puffin. (In the final panel of the same strip, Opus responds by telling Binkley that he looks like a carrot.) Opus says he is attracted to "svelte buoyant waterfowl".

So it was the puffin comments I made, huh. I love Opus. He always had such class and style. Maybe he's why I love Puffins so much- that and the cereal is really good. Particularly the peanut butter cereal.

Thanks for the non-sequitor, Alex!

Yay for Vinalhaven! Love the subsequent pics also.
