Weather's lovely here, without being Bahamian (I hope they're in the 80s, not 70s like LA).

The puppy was so cute that I would have puppynapped him, except it's Christmas and you probably shouldn't take puppies from children.

Just got an email from my algebra teacher:
Congratulations on an excellent final exam! You had one of the very highest scores, and of course you've received an A for the course.
Man, what a nice guy... okay, he was really emailing to ask if I could do the math for middle school teachers thing later in spring, but it was just such a nice thing to say...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The war on Christmas claims another victim, this time in Rhode Island...
A new Christmas tree now stands in the State House rotunda, replacing an 18-foot Colorado blue spruce removed yesterday because it had turned brown and lost its needles.
The original tree, a Colorado blue spruce, apparently turned brown and lost its needles because it was sprayed with a fire retardant.
By last night the original tree had lost so many needles, it was a brown skeleton of the grand tree erected in its leafy glory on Tuesday, Nov. 29. It would have made Charlie Brown's tree look like a thing of beauty.
The tree was taken down for safety and aesthetic reasons and ended up in a Dumpster outside the State House.
As of last night, the governor's office had been resigned to life without the classic holiday decoration.
"That's it for this year,'' said [governor] Carcieri spokesman Mike Maynard as the tree came down. "Luckily, the public and the employees have been able to enjoy it for almost the entire Christmas season.''
Maynard said "the tree-growers' association warned us'' that spraying a tree with (No-Burn) fire retardant dries it out more quickly, but the decision was made to spray the tree anyway because it was going up in "a place of public access.''
A possible contributing factor: The tree was blow-dried when it was first brought in from the rain.
Someone heard about it and donated another tree, so all is well.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
In a few minutes I will head out for my semi-annual haircut. Figure I should try not to look too scruffy when we visit my folks this weekend.
