Still feeling ill ( Read more... )

So, it's official. A long weekend at Cornell is just up ahead. And the only thing I'm looking forward to is the drive up with Dad... And only part of that. The first part, involving loading the vane with four heavy boxes of dirt will most likely be less than thrilling ( Read more... )

Christmas eve was spent with people at a restaurant called Aquavit eating large amounts of good food. HIghlight of the evening was probably the horseradish flavored aquavit. No, really!
