Tommy, that's next on my reading list. I want to read Diamond's Why Sex is Fun.
I was irritated by
Guns, Germs and Steel and haven't picked up any of Diamond's stuff since.
Noah in glasses is adorable, and they do highlight how much he looks like his mom.

Yeah, that one looks interesting too.
Hi all. I haven't been around for several days as I've either been a) grading, b) cleaning, or c) trying to get ready for Xmas. Tree is up but not quite trimmed. Egad but DH's family add about 12 extra steps to the tree trimming. If it were up to me, it'd be done already, but I do recognize that it'll be prettier their way.
But at least we're down to the last week of the semester. Yay!
Do they wrap the lights around the trunk? I love a tree with the lights all glittery all the way through (100 lights per foot of tree!) but my forearms arms get all scratched up taking the dang things off again in january.
Nope. It's just all the stupid little steps. Like they box up the bubble light separate from the electrical strings, so we needed to attach them and then put in each light one by one. Which okay doesn't sound like that much but really it took hours to unknot the wires, hang them, attach each light socket to the tree, and then put in the lights.) I was told garlands came next, then and only then could we put up ornaments. PHew!
garlands before ornaments? heresy!
I don't usually like garlands, myself.
