What I’m reading:<\/em> The new issue of Monocle<\/a>, and Plutarch’s<\/a> life of Theseus.<\/p>\n

What I’m listening to:<\/em> Everything That Happens Will Happen Today<\/a>\"\", by David Byrne & Brian Eno.<\/p>\n

What I’m watching:<\/em> Arrested Development<\/a>, season 1. Like, two hours at a time. We bought all 3 seasons on Amazon a few months ago, for $20.<\/p>\n

What I’m drinking:<\/em> Plymouth gin, Q Tonic and lime.<\/p>\n

What Rufus is up to:<\/em> Having a nice Thanksgiving slumber-party with an Australian shepherd, going to a greyhound meet & greet the next day. No Wawayanda hike on Sunday for us, due to icy roads. But he did get his head scratched plenty<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Where I’m going:<\/em> Martini Madness party next Saturday, at a friend’s place in town.<\/p>\n

What I’m happy about:<\/em> Finding another first edition of the hardcover of Richard Flanagan’s Gould’s Book of Fish down in Princeton (thanks, eagle-eyed wife!). I really oughtta re-read that, since I last read it in 2003.<\/p>\n

What I’m sad about:<\/em> That I didn’t get too many of my “To Do” items done during my week off. But I did put up that new curtain rod and the coat rack, so hey.<\/p>\n

What I’m pondering:<\/em> How far I’ve come since I bungee-jumped off The Ledge in Queenstown, NZ, which was five years ago today.<\/p>\n
