okay I actually do have more to blog about that the weather. Leslie is still here and we have been having a really great time going out to eat, buying CDs (yes we still do that, Tom Waits Orphans 3 disc set 56 songs is fantastic) drinking good beer, cooking and generally planning for the move in the spring as well as just enjoying being together. last night we read a really creepy story called "Sometimes Children Wander Away" in the collection Nocturnes by John Connelly an Irish writer of macabre tales. Life is good. I am still loving my new job. I can't really imagine needing much more.

Whats new? Well it's kind of cold finally. That's it I'm reduced to blogging about the weather.

Blogged Down

Recently Blogger integrated with my Google account providing a new interface for posting as well as other back end changes. What ever the reason for those changes I have not been able to post recently. I don't know if it is because I host my own blog or not but the connection has been undependable. In fact my blog has been unpublishable for a few days.

In other news the weather is crazy. The grass is green , birds sing, bulbs are coming up in some areas. It's January in what was once the second coldest capital on the planet. It's worrying since this has been the trend for the past few years.In fact it's not just a local warming. the Arctic environment is quickly changing.
