happier thoughts

Both mood-related (so to speak):

(1) I forgot to mention the Octoberfest find that turns out to be about the most fun $3 gift I ever got: a mood ring! Usually those are goofy-looking, but this one is really beautiful and simple: a solid enameled band edged with silver, except that the enamel changes color (with the temperature of the wearer's hands). So it's black when I take it off and it cools, and usually cobalt blue when I am wearing it, except when it goes teal or amber or iridescent green-purple. Ooooooh. Thanks, Pup!

And since I was wondering what the heck the color-changing substance is, here's the answer!

(2) After my rather tempestuous therapy session yesterday morning, I should add that I was considerably cheered up in the afternoon by a pleasant lunch with the Kendall Square crowd -- particularly including Brian, whom I was very pleased to see after an absence of nearly a week.

That is an awesome find, especially for three bucks.
