1. Shea Levy, Alyssa Smudzin, and Miranda Barzey are just as super cool in person as online. I've had yucky experiences before when I connected with someone through email, and then found that when we met, there was no personal chemistry. I am so happy that, in this case, real life met online life without an awful matter/anti-matter annihillation.
2. My rereading of E.M. Forster has really begun. Howards End was the beginning, but it's not really a binge until you go to the second book. I started A Room with a View today. Ah, Mr. Emerson, who "is not tactful; yet, have you ever noticed that there are people who do things which are most indelicate, and yet at the same time -- beautiful?"
3. The seeds, seed potatoes, and onion sets that I am planting for my spring garden arrived in the mail today. Monday, I will prepare my container garden on the deck (for lettuce, spinach, arugula, herbs, and grape tomatoes -- the things I harvest daily) and my in-the-yard garden (for my regular tomatoes, onions, potatoes, green beans, and peppers). Now it really feels like spring. Some of thse things won't get planted until it's warmer, but the spinach, arugula, lettuce, onions, and peppers can go in the soil on Monday!
