Snow makes people happier. I know because it snowed here overnight and on my way to work a nice man walking his dog gave me a wave. That's never happened before - snow is the only possible explanation for his cheeriness.
We're into our last major inside painting weekend. This time out it is stairwells and the second floor (or most of it, anyway). We boosted the economy at Home Depot last night and are geared up for painting walls, building and varnishing bookshelves, and then installing bookshelves. My day at work was a little dry for my post-engineering tastes and that didn't motivate me to spend the evening painting, but we had leftover scalloped potatoes from last night and a spot of pudding with chocolate shavings and that perked me right up.
