Thoughts of a Wednesday

magidThe season's changing:
Monday was Boston's first snow of the season, light and slushy, gone by the evening.
Tuesday I got to break the wonderfully brittle ice topping some puddles.
And for observant Jews, Monday was the switch to v'ten tal u'matar livracha in amidot (one of the few things that happens around the same time in the secular year, being based on the solar rather than lunar calendar).
Monday I walked out of the office lobby to see the full moon in front of me, escaping the back alley as it rose between two office buildings. By the time it was fully aloft, the sky had changed, with thin veils of clouds drifting over its luminous face. Gorgeous.
It also means Hanukah will soon be here, so I should figure out what I'll be doing, if anything, beyond the basic candles.
I should just give up on thinking I'll get anything done around the house at night; it never happens. Instead, almost everything happens before work. Today that included getting the rest of the pomegranate seeds out, packing up the leftovers for work, taking out the trash (apparently no one did it last week, despite my email. *sigh*), taking out paper recycling, taking out the Boston Organics bin, getting a prescription refilled, and bringing the coins I'd rolled (ages ago) to the bank and getting new sleeves (the change, it is accumulating again). Plus the regular 1.5 mile walk in this crisp weather. Now if I could only sneak in a nap...
I have a faux-leather bound 2007 week-at-a-view calendar, with a nifty bunch of world maps at the back (plus a guide to wines!). I don't need it; I have a calendar already. Anyone want it?
And for the Boston-local people, there's art for sale, from the School of the MFA (December 6-11) and Mass Art (December 4-9), in addition to all the craft fairs and such around.
