  1. A couple of inches of snow on the ground at home this morning, including on the streets.  Highway was okay, but basically tire tracks down to the pavement only … until I got to Wadsworth on 470, and suddenly the pavement was clear and dry all the rest of the way to work.  Weird — snow usually gets worse <\/em>the closer to the foothills.<\/li>\n
  2. My Outlook\/Exchange is sometimes losing file-read flags on mail.  I.e., I came in this morning to find 93 unread messages in my inbox.  I determined quickly that there were only about ten that were truly new, unread mail; the rest were old, already-read mail that had regained unread status in some way.  Strange, and annoying.  Not the first time that’s happened recently.<\/li>\n
  3. After waxing lyrical over the Stash Lemon-Ginger tea<\/a> I had last weekend, I bought a small case of it via Amazon — a container of six boxes of the stuff. Which shows how much I liked it.  Except I misread the fine print (well, not so fine, but overlooked), and it actually turned out to be four <\/em>cases, each with six boxes with each box having 20 bags.  That’s … a lot of tea.  Guess I don’t have to reuse bags for a while.<\/li>\n
  4. I can’t believe it’s already Thursday.<\/li>\n
  5. Katherine has her “biography night<\/a>” tonight, where we’ll get to see her Beethoven puppet, hear her Beethoven report, etc.  Should be fun.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
