Today

Yes, I am walking around the library in (bright pink) socks.  Without shoes.  No, I don't see a problem with this.  In my defense, the green stripe over my toes (kind of) matches my green sweater.

I have settled into my library nook and can't decide if it is a home or an office, but either way it is mine for way too many hours of the day.  I am cranking out papers like a mad woman, however, so good is coming of it.

Happy New Year!

Today marks the first day of the new year!  The liturgical new year, that is.  We start Year C in the lectionary today, which means that this year we read from the Gospel of Luke.  I'm excited because he's my favorite of the synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke).  I celebrated this morning with French toast and Anne of Green Gables at breakfast time.
