Random Points

1. According to the National Weather Service, we may very well finally get some snow tonight and/or tomorrow. As exciting as this thought is, I’ll believe it when I see it.

2. Saw the movie “Mrs. Henderson Presents” last night at the neighborhood theater. Absolutely wonderful movie: witty and touching and so well acted. Judy Dench’s portrayal of Mrs. Henderson alone is worth the price of admission. Gotta love that dry British humor. Or in this case, is it humour?

3. Have pager duty this weekend, which eliminates such wonderful activities as drinking and impromptu road trips (though not both at the same time). Was paged last night, but had everything wrapped up in time to catch the late movie showing.

4. Note to self: never go to the gym and expect a full, satisfying workout on an empty stomach. Did this yesterday and nearly passed out on the treadmill. No breakfast, no lunch, and then a trip to the gym around two in the afternoon. Not a good thing.

5. Started a new book this week: 1421: The Year China Discovered America by Gavin Menzies. Haven’t gotten far into it yet and overall the idea seems a bit of a stretch, but I’ll withhold judgment until I see just how solid/plausible the evidence is. A good read nonetheless.
