Slept from eleven to six without waking.
Partly sunny.
Highs in the lower 40s.
Southwest winds 5 to 15 mph.
Maybe a few tiny snow flakes fell this morning?
Vacuumed.
Work:
- Lunch at Mexican place with coworkers
Done.
A mysterious benefactor left a wonder tatty raven (starling?) on my office door handle this morning.
I made a triumphal tour of the office with him attached to my shoulder by a binder clip.
Home:
- Continue prepping Phandelver
Done.
- Play with Linux speech synthesis
Done.
Bought gas and a few groceries on my way home.

Twenty-minute walk after dark.
No rain and not as cold as last night.
Sliver of a moon shown briefly through the clouds.
Started re-watching Veronica Mars.
Holds up pretty well.
