Newness

Today I started the new year: I bought a new calendar. It's a 16-month Jewish calendar, with a week showing at a time, just what I like in a calendar I carry around. Now I can start planning past December. It also makes the holidays seem even closer, since they're at the beginning of the calendar, rather than the end. I need to get my act together...

Going along with the autumn newness theme, I also switched banks today. Thanks to Hauntmeister, who pointed out that Cambridge Savings puts balance paid off on one's mortgage towards the required amounts for avoiding fees, getting extras, etc. I haven't closed out the old accounts just yet, so I can do all the switching of automatic payments and all in a more leisurely fashion, but I've finally started the process, months after I'd intended to.

Walking back from the Square, I noticed calls for common casting at Harvard; someone's doing a production of Noises Off this semester!

And for those who were helpful in my decision about dinner, the final result: a tray of onions and purple potatoes with sage is roasting next to a tray of turkey thighs with minced onion, dried cranberries, cranberry-peach jam, diced fresh peach, diced crystallized ginger, and a couple of sliced up hot peppers. I thought about walnuts, but thought they'd burn. Greens are washed for salad, too.

Did you find something to eat?

Hey, I'm glad my bank suggestion worked out! And I also noticed the Noises Off production in the works...I'm all up for seeing it! When I saw it in London two years ago, they had a two-stage rotating set between the acts...I wonder how a student production will try to do the effect?

I first saw Noises Off in Worcester, not a high budget production, and they managed the front-back-front sets ok.

It's always a challenge to figure out when the undergrad productions are. You'd think, with common casting, that there'd be a schedule somewhere available, but I've never found one.
