Alive

I do believe the theme of the week would be "burning the candle at both ends" which is why we are trying the Friday am post.  To review...Monday I watched "An Affair to Remember" (and did some social justice stuff); Tuesday was the office Xmas party, followed by some late nite SJ activity; Wednesday I went shopping, wrapped some presents, and took Mom to the casino for favorite niece's 21st bday; and yesterday I watched "The Shop Around the Corner" (cute) while working.  Oi.

But, we are alive, if not exactly thriving...but surviving.  I could use some sleep, but that will not happen for a few days.  The Winter Meetings fascinated me; the Chicago teams made all sorts of moves, the Red Sox "retooled" their rotation, heck, even the Tribe added a guy with a bad hip...yes, I am skeptical of the move, because once the hip goes....and I haven't seen anything to tell me otherwise.  Alas.

I am on to the third book in the Powell series, and while I would not say it is good, it is...decent.  I mean, it is moving springily, and at one point, I was fairly impressed with the author's ability to write about the interplay of two adulterous couples.  It was one of those things I had to read again, just to get the full feel of the text...
