Miscellany
Mar. 13th, 2014 06:15 pm1) The beef and barley soup is pretty good, if a bit heavy on the stomach. I ate two helpings yesterday and had a... restless night.
2) I took Gracie to the groomer today. It's still a bit chilly (today at least) for short hair, but she seems pretty chipper. She didn't want to walk on the way home, so I had to carry her over all the intervening major streets, but once we got back into our neighborhood I put her down and she trotted along with me. It'll be Buster's turn tomorrow.
3) On the way back, I stopped off at Books-A-Million. Didn't buy too much: four F/SF (Weber, Briggs, a couple of 1632 anthologies) and two histories (A Short History of the English Reformation and the fourth volume of Caro's biography of LBJ). Still, it's enough to keep me busy for a while.
Break's almost over, and I've got several stacks of papers to grade before Monday (Tuesday, if I push it). This weekend, for sure.
