Salinity Points

Yep, exercise makes the difference to sleep and full-spectrum sunlight makes the difference to jocularity—though God knows, we need the rain: The Hudson's salinity point is now up to Poughkeepsie; they are actually warning people on low-salt diets not to drink tap water. And algae blooms are blossoming on every tidal inlet up through Garrison.

I have been toying with the idea of visiting Jeanna in New Mexico over Christmas.

Christmas is generally the holiday that makes me the most lachrymose. I often spent it with Brian doing the Jew thing, Chinese restaurants & movies. Last year when Brian was off visiting the real-life Daria in California, I moped about & felt very sorry for myself.

Of course, visiting Jeanna might make me feel even more sorry for myself, 'cause you know—I'd be visiting Jeanna! 😀

Anyway, no deep thoughts on tap this morning.

But if I get the next big chunk of Remuneration out of the way this morning, I can spend the afternoon puttering with the Work in Progress. Those boring landscape descriptions of the tiny, historic city of Kingston won't write theselves!
