I’m very quickly discovering how much work I’ve signed myself up for… I dropped Portuguese in favor of a second planning course (The Ecology of the City), so now I have two graduate-level courses in planning, both of which are going to be very demanding. Lots of reading, lots of discussion, lots of writing, lots of work. This is going to take some getting used to.

A bit warmer here, and some snow today.

Megan and I had a couple of beers last night at a local bar — I can’t remember the name, but it’s a good regular joint… Reminded me of my last night in San Francisco, at the Peaks. I asked the bartender (Tommy, I think) for a Wild Turkey, and he recognized me and apologized for not having a bottle behind the bar, but offered to make it up by ordering three and stocking them for my future enjoyment. I couldn’t refuse his generous offer, but I leave it up to my friend Marc Gardner to make good on my end of it in my absence.
