Five Things: Happy Birthday, Grasshopper

Today is Monday, Jan. 30. Here are five things you need to know:

1. Cold and windy. Temperatures today are slated to top out in the upper 30s, but, according to Weather.com, it probably won’t feel that warm. Winds could hit speeds as high as 18 miles per hour, and the town’s “feels like” temperature won’t make it out of the 20s today.

2. You might have overlooked this, but I thought it was fun. We stopped by the Harvard-Kent school on Friday for a whale education program. The star of the show was an inflatable whale that went from pile of cloth to full-sized sea creature at a . We’ll have more photos from the event later this morning.

3. Do you support urban agriculture? Mayor Tom Menino, the Boston Redevelopment Authority, and the Mayor’s Office Of Food Initiatives are launching a new project to update the Boston Zoning code to support Urban Agriculture city-wide. The is tonight.

4. Free intro to "Heart Forgiveness." Avalon Spa will hold an today to this technique, which promises to help you “TRANSMUTE anger, fear & sadness into peace, acceptance & happiness.”

5. Happy birthday, Grasshopper. We checked our Facebook feed last night, and found out that The Grasshopper Café celebrated its one-year anniversary Sunday. The eatery celebrated with cake, which was, unsurprisingly, green-themed.
