As I mentioned in my last post, the weather forecast had snow and then didn't. Well, it's back. In fact, it's back for today, this evening, tonight, tomorrow morning, and again on Thursday. So, uh, snow, anyone?

After a restless night, I woke up this morning very warm, weak, and with a headache. Because this is not something I normally do, I got a little worried, and Katy scampered off to bring me ibuprofen and Sudafed. It is entirely because of her valiant, selfless effort this morning (she also made me green tea) that I am now able to write this post. Hooray for Katy!

In other news, you've surely noticed I changed the site a bit. I guess I felt it needed more black and white and less color and shading. It's a minimalist, wintry blog now, I suppose. And, it looks tons better in Firefox than in Internet Explorer, which is a nice change.

Andrew notes that Time has commanded their monkeys to create a list of the 100 best English-language books that have been published since 1923. I regret I have only read nine of them in their entirety, but I'm certain another 15-20 have been on my list of books to read for years. I only really read on flights these days, sigh.

In 2003, with some help from my mom, I compiled a list of all the books I could remember reading and put in on the web. That list is now outdated and defunct, but it was an entertaining exercise while it lasted. I encourage anyone who hasn't done this to do it at some point, as it puts one's literary experience in perspective. I have gotten Kari and Tamara to do this since I did it, and they also enjoyed it.

That's all for today.
