1. Seeing and snapping pix of my crazy neighbor Steven's ice sculpture.
2. The Y was almost deserted because of a football game.
3. The steamroom. It's good for your sinuses and skin.
4. I recognized, and had the nerve to introduce myself, to James Sewell when I saw him with his son in the whirlpool--and he told he that my old housemate Christian Burns will be in town to perform with the ballet next month. I think I should go see them.
5. Cub Foods was pretty empty too.
6. Thin puffy clouds high in the sky.
7. The 60X button on the DVD remote: I watched all of "The Librarian" disk in about ten minutes. Sadly, my scene did not make the cut.
8. My potato leek soup came out great.
9. Watching "Curb" and laughing out loud a lot with Alex.
10. "Amarillo by Morning," a strange and fascinating documentary on the Spike Jonze DVD about a bunch of Houston kids who want to be rodeo stars: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6470673178974656085#
