Saturday, November 30, 2002 It started raining sometime during the afternoon so that the 8-10 inches of snow blanketing everything has begun getting more compact. (Perfect snowball material.) When I left the house this morning, the world was covered in thick, light snow, and between morning sunlight and the temperature floating up above freezing for the first time in a few days, the trees were shedding white material so that it came down like a second snowfall. Real pretty. I've been deeply into travel prep., both actual prep. for the trip and also readying the house for a friend who'll be staying here, taking care of the place during the months I'll be in Madrid. Have been going since I got up this morning with the result that I'm right on schedule, I think, as far as preparations. This is good. Plenty left to do, though. I'll be out of here tom'w a.m., won't touch down in Madrid until Tuesday sometime. Meaning that entries here will be spotty at best until mid-week. To get an idea of the effect Madrid has on my writing, take a look at this journal's entries for the second half of July of this year, beginning with the 15th. Change is good. Be well. Have a good few days. *************************** No Comment: From the News Quirks column ("Odd, strange, curious and weird but true news items from every corner of the globe") of Seven Days, a weekly alternative newspaper based in Burlington, VT: "Weeks after introducing its newest planes, the $200 million Airbus A340-600, Virgin Airlines said it is having to replace plastic tables intended for changing diapers in its 'mother and baby room' because passengers have broken them while having sex on them. 'Those determined to join the Mile High Club will do so despite the lack of comforts,' a Virgin representative said." rws 5:00 PM [+]
