This weekend we posted afghans and quilts on freecycle and got a big response. I wonder if that's a reflection of the price of fuel oil?
After a holiday season so full of food and booze it was almost a relief to see it end but this weekend felt like another binge. Saturday was fondue. It started with cheese and progressed through beef, ending with chocolate. Then Sunday we led into dinner with crudites and went to the movies where mass quantities of popcorn and chocolate were consumed. I doubt the wood splitting or ice skating were much of an offset.
I thought the movie was really outstanding. We saw I am Legend with Will Smith. It helps to be familiar enough with NYC to recognize the places that get turned into deserted, abandoned scrub but even without that background it's probably still effective. Chris needed to sleep last night with the light on.

Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.
J.M. Barrie
What's not possible is not to choose
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much . . . the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons.
Douglas Adams (1952-2001), THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY
I saw him even now going the way of all flesh, that is to say towards the kitchen.
John Webster (1580-1625)
When I play with my cat, who knows whether she is not amusing herself with me more than I with her?
Michel de Montaigne (1533-92)
"Business!" cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. "Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!"
Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
