Chicken and Pool
Sunny and warmer today. Our high was 70˚F.
And I had a pretty decent day. I spent the afternoon at McWane and finally got to meet my visitor from the Yale Peabody Museum, a gorgeous little mosasaur collected way back in 1875, but has sat largely neglected for 147 years. Much of my mosasaur work over the next year will focus on this one specimen. Back home, I watched a few episodes of PBS' paleontology series, Eons.
Last night, Spooky and I took a break from our punishing Seinfeld-a-thon to watch Jonathan Lynn's My Cousin Vinny (1992), because I had not seen it since it was new and Spooky had somehow never seen it. It holds up pretty well, thirty years later. But I suspect it would be completely unremarkable if for the chemistry between Marisa Tomei and Joe Pesci - and the amazing Fred Gwen. I'd forgotten that Tomei won a "Best Supporting Actress" Oscar for her performance.
Oh, and I'm pleased to be one of the people who does not give a shit, one way or the other, about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock.
Here the way to our Big Cartel shop!
