Where is Spring?

Left my Christmas umbrella in Davis Square this morning — just bolted for the bus, leaving it on the bench — and then it never rained anyway. Closed my eyes for a minute this evening and woke up an hour and a half later. Made the worst omelette anybody has ever made for dinner — half-raw, and then it fell apart into scrambled eggs and slime.

Pretty sure I can't write a book.

When will it stop snowing?

Lookin' sharp

Freshly-sharpened knives = 20 longitudinal slices in a single clove of garlic, and haddock flesh that unzips itself with only the weight of the knife and a smooth pull.

(Bostonians, consider this a plug for Siraco Sharpening. $6/knife, drop off at TAGS Hardware in Porter, 3-5 day turnaround.)
