I've had a mostly cozy few days with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude and ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
adrian_turtle: Turkey, cranberry-orange relish, the green beans Adrian always wants, Cattitude's excellent glazed onions (which we really ought to try more than once a year), and a few other things, including a rice and tangerine salad that appealed in the cookbook, then seemed rather odd at first bite, which I wound up having thirds of. And then repeating that reaction, both halves, with some of the leftovers last night.
We went to the Cambridge Museum of Science on Friday, which was fun, including an impressively large kinetic and sound sculpture on the first floor, and a number of things that got strong "I've seen this" reactions from me and/or Cattitude. The dioramas of local flora and fauna aren't just in the same general style as the New York ones at the American Museum of Natural History, they're labeled in the same fonts. There's a math exhibit that's good but I thought "needs updating" (specifically reacting to a label that describes fractals as a new branch of mathematics), and Cattitude told me that he had seen this exhibit, quite a few years ago, at IBM Watson (where his father used to work). We'd have liked more dinosaurs, of course. And some more proofreading: they misspelled "theropod" and "vertebrate" in different exhibits. This was just a low-level annoyance: writing "therapod" and "vertabrate" doesn't confuse people about meaning. But I can't help noticing these things.
Other than that, we dealt with some errands, and Cattitude assembled a new desk chair for Adrian, and we had sushi and talked and drank tea and played Scrabble. Cattitude went home yesterday afternoon, giving me and Adrian some time to ourselves; I'll be heading back to New York today.
