it's snowing like crazy here, and i had to get up in the freezing dawn to go to the weekend class i'm taking.  it's an Educational Technology Certificate course, i'm working on the first level.  today's class was Computers for Morons, and we had covered the objectives by 11 a.m.  so we fooled around with various tech toys for a while after that and called it a day.  hallelujah.  this will go on through April, the classes for the first level certificate.  two saturdays a month.  from here on i will be learning something, as everything i know is selftaught and i think we came close to reaching my limit today in Computers for Morons.

so now i'm home, G is making a whatever's-leftover-in-the-fridge pasta for our lunch, the snow is lovely, i have a good book to read.  life is good.  except for my dilemma of only having a little over a week to decide who to vote for in the primary.  David Corn has a good column today about Our Boys in NH, how they're looking and sounding, the various flavors of Populist, and then there's Joe Lieberman.  interestingly, he reminds me that Paul Tsongas won NH in 1992.  we all know how far that got him.

Hope your weather doesn't get too bad. They're calling for freezing rain here, I put a copy of the forcast on my journal. Right now, it looks okay out, cloudy, but cold 22º, with a 12º wind chill. Not precipitaing yet, tho!
We may not even get to have a primary here this year. There are redistricting problems, & they're talking maybe caucuses instead. In 2000, I voted for Bradley in the primary, but our's was in May, so we knew already that Al was the nominee. It was a symbolic vote.
