Scientists

You have to love scientists because they have a way with acronyms:

"The Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment or VORTEX, field projects study tornadoes."

Birthday!

Many thanks to all the fine people who helped me have an awesome birthday! I had a constant stream of phone calls that included singing and catching up. I was almost too busy on the phone to pull off the dinner party that I threw for myself. So, we ate a bit late but had a great time. On the menu was: green salad, green bean casserole, spinach mushroom lasagna, coconut rum cake and ice cream with rhubarb sauce. Yum. It was my first attempt at lasagna, and I was pleased. We followed dinner with a game of Fishbowl, then called it a night.

Lovely.
