Record cold

 

Record cold temperature in Seattle this morning, and we might get another dusting of snow before this late snap is over. That was optimistic, putting out those patio chairs in the false Spring. The tulips probably wish they hadn't stuck their heads out of the ground.

It's hard keeping busy these long, cold days when I'd much rather be outside. Also a challenge keeping my hand out of that bag of Dot's Pretzels. 

They shamelessly advertise them as "the snack you didn't know you needed." Until you're hooked, that is.

 

What's in that seasoning that makes a plain pretzel so addictive? Just add boredom. The only solution is not buying them in the first place.

This book is old stuff, published way back in 1995, but for some reason I just discovered it. Probably because I seldom read fantasy, but the writing is delightful. Best of all, there's 3 more books in the series to look forward to.
