TGIF!!
I'm listening to 630 CHED right now and the weather has warmed up to minus 25 from minus 45. It's been cool here lately (around 10 celcius at night). My apartment hasn't been much above 70 farenheit for a week! I finished the Messier book - quite good. Hopefully Darcy and I will be able to see Mark play here on March 13! I many other books to read such as Souvenir of Canada. I didn't know that it's written by the same Douglas Coupland who wrote Generation X.

Darcy got me interested in doing yoga so we both attend a beginners class on Monday nights. It's fun and hopefully it will help me with lifting weights. On Thursday nights I go to a dumbek drum class. It's taught by Joe Zeytoonian who is a fantastic Middle Eastern musician. His wife, Miriam Eli, teaches Darcy's belly dancing class. Both of them have formed a group called Harmonic Motion. I've taken two drum classes and have learned much. It's difficult but fun. I don't have a music background so I find the terminology difficult and am also not coordinated and being able to memorize beats.

Work remains busy and the library is hosting the ALA's traveling Abraham Lincoln exhibit. My role in this is portraying the big guy himself! I don't mind doing it and have no major speaking roles. But I have to grow his silly looking beard - I don't want to be seen in public! I will probably be needed three times (Civil War battle reenactment) on Feb. 7, Lincoln's birthday on the 12th, and President's Day on the 16th. Oh well, part of being a librarian I guess.

The 2004 Democrat Presidential Candidate race in interesting. I'm not a Democrat but am throwing my support behind General Wesley Clark. I agree with Michael Moore's points that he is the best candidate that can beat Bush. Unfortunately it doesn't look like he will win the nomination. He's doing well despite being a late starter but John Kerry is gaining momentum. I have nothing personally against him but he voted for war in Iraq and for the Patriot Act!

I guess that's all for now. I'll head over to Darcy's for the weekend and wind down after another busy week...
