Well, we got our first snowfall of the season yesterday. Not much, half inch or so. Still it was nice to watch it fall, nice to have logs burning in the fireplace, and nice to just enjoy the simple pleasures of a lazy day. This morning, it has dropped to 12 degrees F (I guess I will soon need to learn to covert to Celsius), but the big thing is the wind. Gusting so hard it woke me twice during the night. It is gonna be a cold, cold, morning at the train station.

And I have an F’n cold! Second one of the year for me, and that is unusual. And the timing really sucks (not that there is ever a good time for being sick). My boss has been reminding me that I only have 3 weeks left to work and he is wanting me to finish out as much as I can. It’s a matter of pride for me not to leave a mess. So, no sick leave unless this gets a whole lot worse.

We did see that Jim Carrey movie–Lemony Snicket [I think that’s right]. The acting was a little over the top, but I believe it was intended to be. The sets, locales, (or computer generated settings) were fantastic. The story was a bit thin, but I guess we were entertained. I am sure the young audience for which it is apparently intended will be captivated.

I spent my free time this weekend playing CIV III which is one of my passions (my wife would call it an obsession), so didn’t do much on the ‘Net. I really am going to start serious blogging one day soon. Really. For sure when I get to Korea, hit and miss until then.
