It's been cooling off in Raleigh, and last night got down to 50 or something. I slept under two blankets and even so curled up in a ball, Tatsuko nestled down against my knees in her own little heap of covers.

And this morning it was cold enough that I dragged out a heavy sweatshirt and gloves.

But the sun is out, and that will change everything. We really are farther south than Seattle; the sun feels hot, even when the air is not.

I hope I'll go climb today with Will.

But what I really should do is prepare my questions for next week's discussion in the Medieval Dream Visions class.

But all I can think about is fall break, which is Thursday and Friday of this week.

And the book.
