On this date:

- in 1968, my brother was born. Since I'm pretty sure he doesn't read this, I can say he's getting this, from UncommonGoods. Uncommon Goods has cool things and ships its glassware very well wrapped.

- in 1797 Mary Lyon, founder of Mount Holyoke College was born.

After the state lib. yesterday, I curled up with some tea and the internet and ended up skipping water aerobics. Something I linked to from Not Martha that I liked a lot: this How Much Is Inside? guy.

Capital City weather: cold, steady rain all day yesterday; snow flurries this morning.
