Today I got an email from my friend E, who asked how I was going to celebrate, and I knew she didn't mean the inauguration. So I decided, sure, I should go ahead and start the library book I have by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., even though StoryGraph tells me I'm already in the middle of a dozen books. It's interesting so far!
Also - J and I finally used the chainsaw on the oak branches from the ice storm a year ago, and by the end of the week I should be able to get the rest of them into my yard debris bin. Then we met up downtown and had dinner with D and DG, before the three of them went off to play Magic. They're going to have Magic events for four of the next five weekends, and they need to do lots of advance planning. I went for a walk in the dark when I got home, with the distant lights on the hills looking magical as they always do on winter nights, but my hands were so cold even with gloves on that I came home early.
