Charity Alert: Click every day -- costs nothing but a few seconds of your time! The Hunger Site

Weather: If we are stuck with cold gray days, let's see some real snow, not this heavenly dandruff.

Wildlife: We saw "Buck," the mature male deer crossing the road in front of us last night as we were entering our neighborhood. Soon those antlers will fall right off.

In The Community: Kalispell's Annual Art Walk is tomorrow! I've made some posters for my ol' pal Joann at the Kalipell Grand, and this page on the Hockaday Museum of Art's site: Art Walk Preview

Media Watch: TV has sucked pretty badly since Halloween. The horror show of November 3rd hasn't helped either. I happened to see Ken Jennings' 75th appearence on Jeopardy, where he lost his championship, and was watching the next day when new champ Nancy Zerg lost her second game.
That means I've been reading -- not a lot of profundity on my list, just plowing through some things I got at the library sale. The best of that lot was J.G. Ballard's Drowned World from the early 60's.
I'm taking 'em ALL back for the library to sell again.
A.L. Rowse's translations of The Iliad and The Odyssey accompanied me through high school, but his out-of-focus book on the Tower of London goes onto the donation pile.
Anna Quindlen wrote Fictional London a pretty good book about the environs of London in literature, as seen through her eyes on her first visits to the place after 1995. I'd never buy it, but thanks to the library, I can enjoy it anyway.
