Bitter cold last night. Our low was 24F, with a windchill of 19F. No, this is not normal. So, first day of Spring in Birmingham, Alabama this year saw a high of only 53F. But we're supposed to see a high on Thursday of 82F.

Today's film was Martin Campbell's Casino Royale (2006). This film was the first I saw Eva Green, and I have loved her ever since. And I finished up the reread of Thomas Ligotti's Grimscribe with "Miss Plarr" and "The Shadow at the Bottom of the World." I consider the latter to be among the very best of weird tales. And after Ligotti I read the very long chapter on the Eocene Period in Donald Prothero's book on the Cenozoic.

Another short talk with Mike P., a little anxiety over not yet having heard from the editors and reviewers of the mosasaur paper (MP whatever I was calling it).
