No, I don't know what kind of plant this is. I'm not good with foliage specifics.

the last place
A phrase I cannot stand is "It's always in the last place you look." Well, sure it is. If it weren't, you would keep looking. You may as well say, "It's never in the dozens of places you looked before the last place where you actually found whatever it was you were looking for."
I am thinking about this because today I was searching for my social security card. But for a change, I did what you are supposed to do, and started looking in the most unlikely spots. And there it was, in the folder with all of the vet information for my dead cat.
What this says about my filing system I dare not examine.

Meet the new boss...
...not the same as the old boss, I hope. After 10 years, I will be leaving District 104. For those of you in the audience thinking: "Finally!", yes, I agree.

Henry Aldon
Taking his sweet time (ah, already like my brother) my nephew Henry entered the world yesterday (8 lbs 11 oz!). Pics when I have them.

JVC KD-G200 Car Stereo Innards
"Born to multiply, born to gaze into night skies, All you want's one more Saturday."
Looking like some sort of evil bread slice robot, my car stereo had a fatal case of indigestion while playing the latest Shins CD.
Obviously I had to take it apart completely to retrieve the disc.

Great Expectations
Spotted on a minivan this weekend: "We are ashamed of our LTHS 'B' student"
Some background: LTHS is a local high school, it is huge, and it has a diverse but generally upper middle class population.
I have seen plenty of bumper stickers bragging about a student being on the honor roll. And then of course there is the variation: "My kid beat up your honor roll student". But this is the first time I have seen one quite like this. (What makes it even more amusing in a sad way is that where I work, most parents would be more than content with their child being a 'B' student.)
Nothing like a little pressure to be amongst the best in a school with 3700 students.
