                             The alien flutterby

[1] I met Mark [2], JeffK, Kelly [3] (who took some convincing to come over)
and ChrisS [4] at Miserak's, a local pool hall I've been going to for several
years now.

While there, Chris gave me a present—a chrysalis [5]. A live (I hope)
chrysalis. It's not a Monarch though—I think he said it was a native Florida
species.

Not wanting to keep this to myself, I put the chrysalis on Spring's [6] desk
when I got home.

When she got home she freaked out at finding this alien looking thing on her
desk. Skeeved is the term I think she used.

Heh.

So I put the chrysalis on a plant in the court yard where it will hopefully
remain undisturbed until it … well … until the butterfly comes out (it's not
exactly hatching and I don't recall what the term is when a butterfly comes
out of a chrysalis).
