bearshortyIt started snowing finally about a few hours ago, after anticipating snow all day. Bear is staying at his parents' house tonight since it is closer to his work and he will need to help them shovel tomorrow. His Dad just had back surgery a couple of weeks ago, so they really need the help.
I went out the house this morning to mail some letters and do a little shopping and to get fresh air since it will be so cold for the next few days that I doubt I'll leave the house.
I am contemplating a cooking project - I'm going to try making black bean soup for the first time and I'm using dry beans. I've been looking up various advice and recipes online and will improvise something tomorrow.
Today also marked the long awaited return of "Community." And it is back to form since the showrunner is back. Last season I felt I was just sitting through the episodes but I'm back to enjoying them now. I'm so glad the show is back.
I'm also rereading Art Spiegelman's "Maus." After going to the wonderful exhibit on Spiegelman's career at the Jewish Museum last month, I just wanted to read it again. It's been over ten years and I don't remember all the details. It was the first graphic novel I really read and learning the background and even seeing a dead model mouse Spiegelman used is really adding a new level to it. (The Jewish Museum in New York also has a great Chagall exhibition right now and the museum is free on Saturdays - this why I love living in a big city.)
