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.
