A pretty good day. I actually noticed that I was cheerful during my walk around the pond, which was also noticably faster than usual. No problems once I realized that I needed to stretch a little before going any further.

In the evening I found myself close to tears in sympathy for a friend who was hurting. I hate it when I can't do anything to help. Tears are rare for me.

I mentioned to Colleen that N's birthday is coming up in January, and her immediate reaction was that of course I'd be going up to visit. I assured her that I had no intention of staying up in the Seattle area between then and Conflikt.

I also got a call from a homesick Chaos, wanting to come home for the holidays. I booked her a flight for a week from today. I found, somewhat to my surprise, that all the bills due this week had already been paid.

Hot links include two reviews of the Barnes & Noble Nook, on Engadget and Gizmodo. Giz also had guitar picks made from recycled circuit boards, and a carry-on suitcase with a built-in scooter that I desperately want.
