No WSJ today. Maybe they're not printing today. So my paper delivery service is either mistakenly or mockingly giving me a chance to read the Plain Dealer -- that's what was in my driveway this morning. I rarely read it because it is profoundly crappy and dishonest.

It still is -- I read a few articles just now and saw all the familiar laziness of conventional thinking. Sad, but hey, that's entertainment.

This blog has been dead all year -- we rang in 2010 without the obligatory message of high hopes! What the hell, it snowed around here for about two weeks straight earlier this month. Only in the last week did we get above freezing long enough to put some melt on.

We must ask Jenia about the snow levels in Russia and compare them to Berea. Everything these days feel so... Soviet.
