happy birthday, a, fiddleknitter extraordinaire! hope you have a great day in golden. :)

i'm up at 4am because i can't sleep. i've caught cold #1 of the season. several of my students have been sick with colds already, and i seem to have caught it. yay.
had a good weekend. j & i spent most of sat cooking for the week, and cooking dinner for a friend who had an operation on his foot. we made apple crisp again, with the rest of the apples from our tree, and a potato-tomato-grueyere-leek dish to go with some bbq skewers. we made jambalaya for the week.
j was out climbing most of today on the east side of mt hood. i meant to get out & do things myself, but felt too rundown to move from the couch. this evening, j & i watched walk the line, the joaquin phoenix/reese witherspoon movie about june carter & johnny cash. good flick, although as i'm not a big country music fan, and especially not a fan of the "musicals" genre, it was a bit slow at times.
