Slept from ten to six.
Woke briefly around four.

Dreamed about dad last night.

High of thirty-two and partly sunny today.

No additional snow fell overnight.
It amounted to not much, but we might get a couple inches on tomorrow.

Work:
- Work on Orwell playbook
  Done.

Twenty-five minute walk at lunch.
Gray.
Still a smattering of snow on the ground.

> Today on the show, we go back in time to 1879. There was a fight between President Rutherford B. Hayes and Congress about African-Americans voting. It ended in the first ever government shutdown.

Also interesting that the electoral college put Rutherford in office in defiance of the popular vote, possibly as a remedy to souther voter suppression issues.

> John Anthony Bellairs was born on January 17th, 1938 in Marshall, Michigan, which he described as “full of strange and enormous old houses, and the place must have worked on [his] imagination.” A shy and overweight child, he “would walk back and forth between [his] home and Catholic school and have medieval fantasies featuring [himself] as the hero.”
> The modest success of The Face in the Frost was enough for Bellairs to turn to full-time writing, and his next work The House with a Clock in its Walls was also a dark fantasy. Supposedly Bellairs had difficulty selling the book until a publisher suggested rewriting it as a young adult (YA) book set in the fictionalized Michigan of Bellairs’s childhood.
> It’s unclear when Gary Gygax first encountered The Face in the Frost, but it may have been fresh on his mind as he was writing Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. In the Players Handbook Gygax explicitly states that magic-users must consult their spellbooks in order to memorize their spells, which echoes Prospero’s habit of studying his spellbook at night before the next day’s journey and adventures. In contrast, the original Dungeons & Dragons rules merely say that a given spell (slot) may only be used once a day – no mention is made of memorization or spell preparation.
