As most of you know, it's cold out here. Supposedly it reached -45 in some places in boston. Coming from someone who has spent time out in open winds at -20, I cannot imagine how cold -45 must feel like. Sadly, my apartment is also freezing. I walk around in a sweat shirt and thermal pants. I wear socks. I am usually found wrapped in a blanket in my chair. ME, eskimo girl. Needless to say, it is cold. I am contemplating not leaving my bed until spring, but then I realize this will go away eventually, and it will be 20 or so, and I shall be happy again.

BTW, I am adding Judge Goldberg, of the 5th cir. court of appeals to my list of favorite judges. His opinion in Zatarain’s, Inc. v. Oak Grove Smokehouse, Inc. was one of the best I have read all year. I was actually INTERESTED in what he had to say. And I am never interested in my law school readings...
