No need for an app. No reason to check the remote thermostat that is downloading conditions from The Cloud. Don’t worry about finding The Weather Channel on your local TV system. I can tell you all you need to know.
When the cat gets under a blanket, or allows you to wrap her up and make an Allie Burrito, you know it is cold:
A downside to the online format: it is harder to make cool hats out of historic stories, like @idsnews staffers did in 1945. @IUMediaSchool pic.twitter.com/oua8RFLZ8j

"I'll Be Seeing You," with Ginger Rogers and Joseph Cotton, is advertised (7.3 on IMDB). Both worked into the 1980s and died in the 90s.

Also advertised, "Objective, Burma!" (The British hated it, over-Americanized.) starring Australian Errol Flynn, sorta playing an American.

The trees are up. The ornaments will become a multi-day affair, starting over the weekend. The greenery is wound around the bannisters. A tasteful amount of Christmas decor has been displayed. December is here.
And now we have to go shopping, too? And then get ready to travel? And finish the semester in the next few days?
So site activity will be reduced this month. This is not a hiatus — I just added a cool new video to the front page, for example — but it won’t be an every day thing. Please do stop by from time to time, though.
I will be continue to be active on Instagram and Twitter, however.
See you sometime next week.
Me and the moon tonight, on a solo 5K run.
Though, really, it might have been 6 p.m. by then. Who can say this time of year?
I told The Yankee to run without me because my schedule is weird and if she waits for me she’s going to be running at night and that’s not her favorite thing to do. So she can running earlier some days and I can run later in the evenings. One interesting thing about that, I figured, is that I could try to do some different things.
So I decided I’d try to work down below an arbitrary 5K time goal. Pick a round number and sneak in a run just under it. Big sprints at the end count, after all. This would take a few days or a couple of weeks, I figured. And then I did it on the first attempt. I got in a great last mile.
Which means I have to come up with another time goal. And, friends, the followup goals are always more difficult than the initial ones.
