longer than usual commute home had me too much inside my own head.

but i did say something smart in class this evening. no, i can't tell you what since i can't really remember, but it was one of those moments when you know you are onto something and there is notetaking--frantic scribbling to get it down before it slips away--and animated discussion and vigorous head nodding. damn. i wish i remember what it was. those moments have been too few and far between this semester and i really love when things click.

but for now i have officially used up all my smarts and all my witty cleverness so i am putting on warm winter pjs and watching harry connick's new animated christmas special. yes, he's a cartoon, but hey, i'll take what i can get.

i did bring the camera with me today. i was planning on taking some stunning pics of campus but geez louise it got cold out there! so i took a few pics of my commute

the plan was to take some pics for the street buskers group and i did actually stop and talk to this talented mets fan

the pictures are a bit grainy and certainly not up to the quality that i would submit to the group, but since it went well, i will take a few more and work on the settings.
