[Magdalen] How cold is cold?

[John Robison]

10 degrees in Portsmouth, Ohio (I'm visiting my Uncle). I got to help one
of the older residents of his apartment building not get blown over by the
wind.
We stayed in for dinner tonight.
Ham, squash, a sweet white wine.

"Among the repulsions of atheism for me has been its drastic
uninterestingness as an intellectual position." - John Updike

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life:
The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that
often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading
to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with
the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."  ~John Rogers
