You know what's nice? A burst water main in subfreezing temps on your route to work.
Huh. Those are going around. I had brunch with Nora and Tom on Sunday, and our initial destination was frelled by a busted water main. Luckily, it hadn't quite gotten to the sub-teen tempratures like it has since Sunday night.

I was down in Au Bon Pain a little bit ago, and I was trying to decide between yogurt and oatmeal, and forcing myself not to get a ham & cheese croissant, because I was trying to be good.
