- Having two tall ships docked at the marina this morning. I pulled my scope and tripod onto the balcony to check out the youngsters crawling up and down and all around the deck and masts, tying things down and all. They were the Pathfinder and Playfair out of Toronto.
- More farmer’s market fun today. This time I got a spaghetti squash, some potatoes, apples and more peaches than last time.
- After three days brainstorming and doing preparatory research for my final project, I’m closer to the writing stage. Much closer. And if I can’t manage to start writing tomorrow, I’m going to bonk myself on the head with Thomson & Martinet.
- Sylvain won the fish! He won the fish! I managed to convince him that fishie really wants to live with me. Well, at least some of the time. We may have to work out a shared custody arrangement. Thank you, Lynn, for your wonderful prize giveaway.
- Does this ever happen to you? Months or maybe even years after you post something, you get a new comment on it from someone out there? Today I got a comment on my “Purple Starfish” post, which follows:
Yah i wanted to know what the real name is for them, cuz like me and my family saw some -B.C. Canada- and we wanted to know about them but i cant find anything on them by looking up ‘purple startfishs’ so i would REALLY love to know the real name of them, thanx xoxo
Taylor
To which I replied:
Hi, Taylor. Check out THIS website. I think we are talking about a sea star commonly found on the coast of BC. The scientific name is pisaster ochraceus, I think. What do you think? Is this what you saw? Kelly
And Taylor wrote back:
omg yes! thanx so much! 
Taylor.

I am so glad YOU GUYS (really Syl) won the fish, as I knew you wanted it, but Henry picked Syl’s name…It had to be fair…LOL Let me know when it visits you or you it!!!
And yes, that is great about Taylor’s comment and your being able to help him out all those posts later!
