So to celebrate TGIF, here are some other things I was thankful for today:
1) The sweater and scarf Patty gave me. Brrr, it was cold today!
2) My mom convincing me to bring the waterproof jacket to Philly, since it's been raining for two days.
3) Waterproof boots that let me truck right on through the puddles everyone else has to walk around.
4) Fingerless gloves that let you work your iPod, but still convert into mittens when you get too cold.
5) Sidewalks that are wide enough you can walk on the far side and not get splashed by the cars driving by.
6) Tea in the fellows' common room at the APS.
7) Driving rain which drives 99% of the smokers off the sidewalks - I swear, Philly has more smokers than all of the countries of Europe combined!
8) Not having to ride my bike in the rain, because I'm close enough to walk.
Research accomplished today:
1) Read two almanacs
2) Read through the W&M Quarterly.
3) The internet was down today at APS. Lacking internet (and thus the ability to order new books) I decided to read through the card catalogue. Don't worry - it was just the section with the 1500-1700 books!
