Was waiting in the car for my wife to pick up some corn bread from Ukrops and looked down the row of cars to my left. There was, about 5 cars down, a youngish woman using a pair of tweezers to pluck hair from her chin. After looking in the mirror several times she seemed satisfied she had plucked them all and proceeded to leave her vehicle and go to the store...
Saw two notices on the internet today indicating that CNN and CBS are telling us how president has lied to us about his election promise of making government, and in particular, the health care debate, very public. They must really be concerned with so much of their viewing public looking elsewhere for their news.
Cold but sunny today. Areas north and south of us have winter weather advisories, but, we, as usual, have nothing. It's supposed to be raining here by three pm, but right now, at two pm it is sunny and not too cold out.
The ground seems to be frozen up pretty well, which is good. There's even ice on the ponds, and still some decent piles of snow hanging around. Considering it snowed almost three weeks ago, that's pretty good.
Spent yesterday afternoon in Starbucks. If one sits there long enough one sees some really interesting characters visiting the place. There were identical twin brothers in there when we first entered, each using their laptops. They had expensive looking leather satchels to carry them in. Makes me wonder if they were unemployed, or just working in there for a change of scenery.
Went to Panera's for lunch. Had some soup and their new chicken panini samich.
Tonight is ham and bean night at our house! We'll probably keep each other awake all night after that...
Our friend from the Czech Republic is finishing up his first week of Italian in Frienze tomorrow. It's a four week immersion class. Then, he stays for another four weeks to go wherever. His wife joins him on 11 February.
I received an e-mail from a publisher yesterday. They thanked me for inquiring about them. However, I hadn't. At least, not yet. They sent a website address and said I should check their submission guidelines there. I looked up the publisher and their website in a book I have, and it was a good website. I filed it for possible later use.
Not much going on today...
