Knitting-- grey stockinette. Relaxing, but nothing to write home about.

Reading-- "More Information than You Require," John Hodgman, great stuff.

Extracurricular activity-- sitting on a bench next to Lake Balboa, watching the birds. This time of year, that's coots by the hundreds, and healthy numbers of mallards, a duck I couldn't identify (blue bill, back of head greenish), several cormorants, and a couple of greater egrets. The herons and pelicans must come later in the year. I like Lake Balboa in the winter.
