sluggish

Okay, I know it's a snail, but I've been feeling a bit sluggish lately and this little guy seemed to understand.  Found him crawling down the side of my house the other morning when I got back from my run/walk.

Motivation is definitely a challenge right now.  The weather is nice and sunny and I'd rather be anywhere (ahem, like the beach) than sitting in my office.  Yesterday was a welcome opportunity to take a research field trip to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, where I enjoyed an alfresco lunch with the beau and then spent hours pawing through books on Chinese export porcelain in search of a certain family coat of arms and crest.  Tedious?  You bet, but a nice change of pace.

Did you find the family crest?

Yes indeedy. All over the place, but sadly only really showing one of three known services. But at least one more lead was uncovered as well...

Thanks for answering the crest question - I was wondering too. Good luck w/ the lead!
