Keep those fingers warm.

­What a dull, miserable day. But there are solutions.

First. Remember that caffeine has no negative consequences, unless you stop drinking it.

Second. Montreal is a haven for really heavy, fatty dishes that offer warmth to tall, thirty-two inch waist persons. Above is the pied-du-cochon from the restaurant of the same name.

Third. Tomorrow I will be sitting outside of Shatner at 6:00 am to book rooms for a campus club. You will be in a warm bed, viz. today isn’t that miserable.

So keep studying and writing those papers. And remember that like in Scrabble, long words are not necessarily best. Qi for example is often worth twenty-two points.
