Miscellany
Am I the last person in civilization to wise up to the 'remember me' button? For years now I've been logging in and out like a wildwoman to ever increasing numbers of blogs, journals, forums, etc, because I thought it might be 'safer' somehow. Well, the last week or so I've just clicked 'remember me' on everything and wow, I'm hopping in and out with complete ease. Go, me! This opens whole vistas of surfing opportunities.

Note to self: it is now 2008. Please to be remembering this on business correspondence before clicking the print button.

It's very cold. I'm not used to this. But I'm still having iced tea with lunch.

I want to make kourabiedes. I don't bake much in December because the stores are mobbed and I try to lay low until it all blows over. But now I'd like to trot out my favorite butter cookie recipe. It calls for a POUND of sweet butter, people, which you beat for 30 minutes. This is a trip with a hand mixer and best done with an assistant.
