Twice a year, I am *extraordinarily* grateful that I am robust enough to handle a one-hour time shift without catastrophic results.

A minor thing, in light of all the data being lost forever...
But the Social Security Name Index, the list of most common boys and girls names by year, is gone.
So much for giving characters age-appropriate names...
Fingers crossed, it's a glitch. But it's gendered so I don't have much hope.

For the WIP: Do you understand this passage? If you have people younger than thirty in your life, do they get it?
"The hallway stretches in front of me like something out of a horror movie. I look around for a pair of creepy twins, or maybe a kid on a tricycle."

Glitch? Editorial decision? Chilling effect of proposed Oklahoma law that defines "unlawful pornography" as depictions of "sexual intercourse which is normal"...

While in New York last week, I was *shocked* by the amount of weed being smoked in public.
The law there is that weed can be smoked wherever cigarettes are. That means *not* inside most public spaces, but the sidewalks are fair game.
As was the subway (not legal there, but...)

It's hard to shift back to "normal" after a get-away long weekend in New York. Harry Connick Jr at the Met, the Temple of Dendur and the American Wing at the other Met, and the Queens Museum to see the scale model of NYC and a room of Tiffany glass. Stayed at a friend's on the LES. Perfect!

Back from one of my favorite vacations of the year -- the Outer Banks (North Carolina) during the dead of winter. Almost-deserted beaches, catching up on reading, bingeing TV shows, sleeping in, and eating way too much!
Plus, this year, snow!
Back home and back to routine now...

Attended a fascinating Smithsonian class yesterday about Paleolithic Cave Art, where the instructor found several dozen ways of saying, "We just don't know how/why/what they did this..."
So many mysteries that could be turned into novels...

Today, I spoke with a friend who recently adopted two older teens from South America. The girls had never seen snow before, and they were thrilled by our 6" snowfall last Monday. Overjoyed to build a snowman on Tuesday. Bored on Wednesday. Annoyed on Thursday.
