We have no snow. Just cold and gray. But at least the predicted sleet seems to be holding off for now and with any luck will stay away until after the Mayor's Christmas Parade is over.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Susan, Did you get my email on Friday?
Suzy now has a whole Mrs. Jack Welsh career.
Seriously. Her kids go to my nephew's school. They're always jetting off somewhere or another.

Well, since you wouldn't have recognized the name, I just wanted to make sure it hadn't been deleted by mistake.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
So weird.
Oh, and my gloves used to live in my coat, but I took them out this spring because the coat is a convertible and I separated out the shell for rain jacket use. It's back together now, but my gloves (and glove liners and balaclava liner and hat) are somewhere indeterminate.

In other news, I finally got the simulated elevator program that I'm working on for my class to run correctly! It probably doesn't sound all that exciting, but it's been a devil of a problem, and the code that finally works is elegantly simple compared to what's come before this. I feel like calling the instructor up to let him know.

The snow turned to rain here about an hour ago.
I've done one batch of marmalade (okay, I prepped it last night) and one batch of black currant jelly thus far this morning. At some point, I will get dressed and go make fruitcake with my mother.
I turned into Martha Stewart at some point. Not sure how that happened. Eh, it's kind of a good thing?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It snowed here, but thinly. Seabiscuit is ecstatic, both because he adores snow, but also because it rained for two solid days prior to that, and he was miserable cooped up in the apartment.
I do not have fruit to make into delicious jams or jellies. This is wrong and sadmaking.
However, there is football on and I overslept and missed church and bratwurst is on sale, so it's going to be a nice lazy at home day instead of a running around day. I call it a win.

We finally got the switchover to rain here maybe 15 minutes ago.

Our wings are not tired.
My neighborhood book group is doing a cookie exchange thing this month. I need to bring 3 dozen cookies. I haven't read the book yet either. We meet Thursday. I looked through a few of my recipe books and some on line, but I am not in a cookie mood and none look good. Perhaps focusing on finding the book would be a better plan for now. If the book mentions cookies anywhere I will make some of those cookies.
