1. I’m a delinquent, I know. I’m working on changing that, so bear with me! Let’s get back into the 10 on Tuesday habit, shall we? And please, join in the fun and leave a link to your 10 in the comments! I know there are some delinquent bloggers out there that are reading this and could easily join in *cough*LeyreSwiftyEmilySB*cough*

2. What’s interesting about my being a delinquent is that I can’t even tell you how many Tuesdays (or Mondays or Wednesdays when I had no idea what day of the week it really was) I’ve composed these posts in my head and either never got to the computer or never got my hands on my camera and so didn’t post.

3. Given the whole recent water hub-bub around here (you can read more here if you’d like), things have been a bit out of the ordinary. By that I mean, my one-chai-a-workday habit that has recently come back with a vengeance was not one I could partake of yesterday – yikes! It’s a rough start to the work week when half the city is running around in a caffeine deprived panic trying to find any coffee they can get their hands on. I digress. I’m a big fan of the mochas at Flat Black (not like that’s a secret around here: 1, 2, 3) and I conveniently live across the street from one location and work three-ish blocks from another. Even more conveniently, their owner rigged the espresso machines to pull from bottled spring water after the boil water order went into affect on Saturday, so they were pumping out all kinds of caffeinated goodness that other places weren’t. This morning I took a little walk to enjoy the beautiful weather and ended up walking to Flat Black for some iced mocha deliciousness. I was crossing the street looking at their front door and the sign that says “Come in, we’re open” and I thought “They should really change that sign to read ‘come in, we’re awesome’, it would be more appropriate.”

5. It must really be spring around here – we’re alternating between rainy 40’s last week, hot and humid 80’s over the weekend, and 60’s with possible thunderstorms later this week. But forget the weather, you know it’s spring in the Financial District when the grass at PO Square is open for your lunchtime enjoyment and the fountain is turned on!

Spring in New England-
On the way in: umbrella.
Shades on the way out.

7. Can I use punctuation like that in a haiku? Regardless, let’s all be impressed that somewhere along the line I learned about syllables, because there’s a whole lot of other basic grammar that either I never learned or I have no recollection of learning. Some people named Pete would argue it’s the same case with geography.
