Bicycling 4:00 [1]

Third day of the nor'easter and it is not abating.

Last night Dave and I stayed up really late watching "Daniel Deroda", a BBC/WGBH production. It's in 4 parts, and we could not bear to not watch the next part as each one ended. Very bad of me. But so enjoyable.

Note

NY Times op-ed arguing against routine PSA screening to look for prostate cancer. I'm confused.

Bicycling 50:00 [4]

In a Nor-easter, to Park school to watch Izzy's futsol game.

Bicycling 50:00 [1]

To a cafe to meet some guy named Gilberte who I think didn't show, although I found out there were many men there not named Gilberte. Fortunately, I ran into three other people I knew and had a very nice time catching up with them. I found out some shocking information about an incident between a couple of kids in the junior high recently...

Then biked to auto parts store for a light bulb.

C • shocking 2

Bicycling 10:00 [1]

Big presentation in the evening to the Board of Directors, 45 minutes just on what I do. Sample: "Our approach is based on being a very small group in a resource-limited but scientifically ambitious start-up company." Small group = me, basically. Then out for a beer with coworkers, in which part of the conversation centered on the best brands of champagne. I had nothing to say.

Afterward I was still all pumped, adrenaline & booze I suppose, and made Dave get up and watch a movie. He picked it out; he'd had it in mind for a while apparently: "Lost in Austen". It was a total hoot. Has Seabass seen it? Kind of not surprisingly, it has a slapped-together feel, plotwise, but plenty of laugh-riot moments and they did a really fine job with the language. In case anyone's interested, you must both read the book (possibly multiple times) and watch the Colin Firth version of "Pride and Prejudice" before seeing this movie.
