dchenesI have a cold, and I'm hoping it's not The Cold, because The Cold takes three weeks to go away and I want to go diving again before March. I was going to go this coming weekend now that football season is over, but I like my eardrums intact, thank you very much, so no diving. Besides, the instructors would yell at me if I tried. They wouldn't let me in the pool when I merely said my ear was going Thud every time I swallowed.
RB changed their minds about plating my ring with rhodium being a good idea, so I went on Saturday and retrieved it, and have worn it for two days with no rash. Maybe I just need to boil it every other month or so. But I was in Harvard Square for the opening of milk&pizza, and the line went from there all the way to the Sinclair, which is three sides of that block. The food can't be THAT good.
The list of fiction authors I wish would write faster keeps getting longer. George R. R. Martin, Patrick Rothfuss, Diana Gabaldon, James S. A. Corey, Helene Wecker...at least Katherine Arden has a trilogy I haven't read yet, and the first one (The Bear and the Nightingale) is promising so far. And it's based on Russian folklore, which I know a very little about, so I'm not completely lost and I'm learning things at the same time.
I'm up to the Tet Offensive in the Vietnam book. How the hell did we not learn anything from that whole war and get ourselves mired in Afghanistan?
