* It snowed for the first time up at work. Not just a couple of inches, more like a foot plus. Miraculously, Boulder only got several days straight of rain, despite snow covering the foothills. Isn’t the affect of altitude on weather fascinating?
* I’ve finished a bunch of books in the last two weeks. More on those as soon as I have the time to write-up reviews and post links to amazon.com.
* David was asked to peer review a prospective journal paper. Very exciting & prestigious.
* I am still deeply buried in projects at work and they are keeping me engaged, challenged, and busy. I am trying not to get too stressed, though I definitely no longer feel even a small fraction of how relaxed I was right after our honeymoon. Oh well. The holidays will be here soon. (Does that mean more or less stress?! I don’t know. At the very least it means less work and more play.)
* The fifth season of Alias has begun. We are officially addicted again. Sharon and Mike have kindly reinitiated our Alias routine at their house. It’s nice to see them again on a regular basis!
p.s. The photo at the right is of iced tea in my blue plastic cup at work… part of my every day routine.
Also, I’ve added more photos from our honeymoon to Flickr — Please check them out!
I’ve only watched most of the first season of Alias, which I liked, but I started noticing a repetitiveness that I found disturbing. And the commercials for the later episodes have bothered me because they seem to be doing all the cliche plot devices–“The bad guy is really my father” or “Now it’s time to have a baby,” or “You killed/abducted my sister!” Since I’ve seen all those episodes in both X-Files and Star Wars, I’ve hesitated to watch more Alias.
Oh, and an update on my Wheel of Time rant from earlier. I checked out the prequel book from the library. I had refused to pay for it because the whole series was pissing me off, and I saw the prequel as a punt. But, I’m embarassed to admit, I liked it. More plot than the recent books, and characters I liked better. So I’m even more embarassed to admit that I ordered the 11th installment from Amazon. I’m a loser.
Loved seeing your new photos posted of the honeymoon! Wow ~ that is an incredible setting! Between the pool(s) and the beach, it looks like paradise! So glad you enjoyed it so ~ You both look great! Happy Honeymoon!
Love,
Mom
