A. Morning Musings

It is nice at the moment but the temperature is forecast to drop to -23 by this evening, with snow and high winds. Our first winter blizzard of the season.

The first task this morning is to get a few more supplies in the house (e.g. wine). Then I will make a large pot of chilli. I also want to bring some firewood into the garage. Then we should be able to settle back and enjoy the storm. I need to pick a good novel to curl up with as well.

While looking through my piles of recently purchased books, I noticed "The Middle Way". I will add it to my activities as well as "The Falls" by Joyce Carol Oates."The Middle Way" may be a nice contrast with "Solitude: Seeking Wisdom in Extremes". This will be my first exposure to Oates' writing. I am not sure if I will get to my trains today - I shall see ... .
