We’re having a few friends over for New Year’s, last minute style, sort of a stragglers ball. We decided to serve lobster and we picked out seven that were still moving. They’re in our refrigerator now and I’m feeling kinda bad about their boiling water fate. But the quick method seems marginally more humane than baking them as the seafood manager at Wegman’s suggested.
Our friends, Maureen and Karl are getting married at the Justice of the Peace today and there is a reception for them at their house this afternoon so I’m afraid we won’t have time to walk. In lieu of that I looked for a recent photo of the woods and found this one. I love how the trunk of the central tree appears to get wider as you move your eyes up. And the root structure, visible at the base, looks especially animated as the tree bursts out of the pine needles. I wish I was there now.
