All right, code submitted and I just signed up for my third course at Stanford. I'm making progress on my inbox. I think this means I can drink tea and play Pokemon for a couple of minutes, right?

Of course!!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Enjoy your tea and Pokémon break.
I *did* have unclaimed money! Over $50 from the last address I lived in NC. So sometime in the next month I should get a check. Woot!

Oh, right, I should sign up for that class I was going to take. Because I have so much free time. t /irony

I've rented places with kitchens like that, btw.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Yeah- that kitchen is pretty much like the one in my apartment, except I have appliances! But the bathroom is lovely, and it is next to an emu campus. I am sure that is Eastern Michigan University, but I like to imagine a place full of large birds.

Large scholarly birds.

I know this is looks-ist, but I can't see emus as being very scholarly.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I know I've been pretty lurkery lately, but can I get some hivemind advice? I have to go to Philly tomorrow for a work thing and, well, I'm a Californian so not a lot of cold weather clothes. My daylong meetings will all be in the hotel, so no worries there, but for coat options I have:
a barn coat - warm but, well, looks like it's a barn coat
car coat length trench with full lining - looks professional, but is it warm enough?
And for shoes, I was going to go with my hiking boots for outside as they serve well on mountains when not skiing, etc, but they can fill with ice and get slippery if there's slush. Seem okay, or courting disaster?
thanks in advance for any advice

Ann, that's a ferret.
Burrell, I've done fine in DC winters (which is usually just a few degrees warmer than Philadelphia) with a lined trench coat, as long as it stays out of record low territory. DC over the next few days is supposed to be cold (by DC standards -- highs in the low 30s F) but not record-breaking, and dry.
