-After a few days in the -35 zone we've moved back into slightly more reasonable temperatures. Though I don't think we actually made it above zero today, with the help of the sun it was warm enough that we actually had a little slush to contend with as we were making our way home from work. Hopefully this will be frozen by the time I have to head back to work tomorrow morning.
-You know what's great about this time of year? It's great that when I drive to work it's not pitch black. It's strangely comforting to know that you're not arriving at work an hour before sunrise. And it's not bad that the sun doesn't set until about an hour after the workday ends either.
-After work on Friday (at least I think it was Friday) I received a very strange robocall that seemed to be about electoral redistricting in Saskatchewan. Just about the only thing that I could make out was that the call supposedly came from 'Chase Research.'
Turns out I wasn't the only one in Saskatchewan to get such a call and that these calls have now been the subject of a number of media reports, including this one.
-Somehow, after years of trying, I've finally managed to get Jeannette to listen to a few of my regular podcasts. The new This American Life has now become a shared Sunday ritual (instead of one I shamefully engaged in alone whenever I could sneak a listen). And over the past few weeks I've managed to sneak in RadioLab, 99% Invisible, and the always informative Inside Jobs Podcast. For whatever reason I haven't quite managed to draw Jeannette into my Jordan, Jesse GO!/Stop Podcasting Yourself web.
-I made eight small raspberry tarts tonight. Now that they're out of the oven I have no interest in eating them. Maybe by tomorrow morning I'll rustle up some kind of willingness to sacrifice my health so that these guys don't end up sitting on the counter and spoiling.
What a tough life I lead.
