Well, that was a surprise
Friday, November 6th, 2009 08:46 amFive inches, more or less, of sticky, heavy snow on the overnight at our house. It's very pretty, with the trees all flocked in white, though I fear for some of the branches, especially in the trees that haven't lost their leaves yet.
Steve cleared my car for me (see heavy snow), and off I went to town on roads that were intermittently icy and slushy, just the sort of conditions in which the late, unlamented Nissan would squirrel. Nary a wibble from the new car, not one. Little green Subaru for the win!
Not much use deploying the rolling cart today, so I stripped down to the purple purse and the lunch box, which worked out fine until I got to my office and realized that I had neglected to bring shoes. Sigh.
Giant Freaking Robot has some nice things to say about the Liaden Universe® in general.
Last night after physical therapy -- which is going well, by the way. Yesterday was my second session after the initial evaluation. I admit I thought Hard Thoughts about Matt on Tuesday, the day after my first session; but I forgave him on Wednesday. Today, I'm not completely happy with him, but -- more mobility, less pain. Whatever he's doing, it's working.
So, after physical therapy, came home and retired to ice my knee in the comfy chair, where I was shortly joined by Mozart and Hexapuma. I got a start, via yellow pad and pen, on Ghost Ship -- sketching in the first scene. It feels good in terms of direction and dialog. Of course, I still have to put in all that pesky stage stuff, but that'll come when I'm at the keyboard.
Today is the 29th anniversary of Steve and I Doing the Legal, and! the sun has just come out.
The two are not, I think, related.

Conga-rats on the anniversary. May there be many more, twice as happy.

PS I remember folks at STScI(Space Telescope Science Institute) padding about in slippers but they had jobs that kept them mostly in front of computers. YMMV. My godson just went up to see Boston University's Physics Department...I'm betting he's getting a good snowy view of what 'fall' at BU is like (his mom and I went there).
