It's warm and humid today. Just how I don't like it. Oh well. I passed by someone who looked like one of my skating instructors this morning. I couldn't really tell. Just as I was passing her, she turned around to look, and in that split second, I got this blurry image of a face in my head. It took me a few more seconds to process, and quite a number of seconds to recognize. By then I was at the end of the street so I couldn't really turn back now could I?
As I was taking off my blades after I got to school, I noticed this bunch (flock? herd? annoyance?) of squirrels running around back and forth near the bush I was next to. I think there were at least seven of them running around near and in the bush making their squirrely noises. I was actually able to get close to one, but I figured I didn't want to bother the creature, as it was hiding in the bush for some sort of reason.
Anyway, it doesn't seem like I have a ride back to Toronto this weekend. Sucky.

So wait.. are you coming to Toronto or not? Cause I wanna know (as I'm sure a few other readers do) who this supposed person who wants to meet me is!
Inquiring minds want to know.

I checked. According to this page, a group of squirrels is called a "scurry" (or a "drey," but the OED says that this refers to a squirrel's nest).
So there you go. "A business of ferrets?" "A romp of otters?" "A mumuration of starlings?" Who came up with this stuff, anyway?
