That's what this month's color scheme is called. It seems fairly restful and warm. Granted, we in the soggy South don't get all that much really cold air for extended periods, but right now we're having a "coolish" spell. In fact, it might even freeze before the week is out!

My mother used to say that what you did on New Year's Day you'd do for the rest of the year. I did very little today--some reading, some tidying, some balancing 9of checkbook. Also some napping and cat-petting. (The cat with all the "insulation" gets cold and wants to cuddle.)

After two weeks or so of no alarm clock, tomorrow will be quite a shock. I have a 7:30 (am) doctor's appointment. The really big advantage of that hour is that the parking garage has lots of close-in spaces, and there is almost no wait at the office itself.

Once I finish, I think I'll either go to PJ's and do geek reading or go out to the mall and get my feet done. They are way overdue, but the nail salon was pretty crowded dduring the holiday time. (Of course, I could--and may--do both.)

This evening's "entertainment" will be watching the Sugar Bowl. I'll root for Hawaii because the other team is University of Georgia--arch-rivals of YD's Georgia Tech. Besides, the Hawaii crowd probably spent a bunch more money getting to the game, not to mention around the city.

My current "geek read" is Leonard Shlain's Sex, Time and Power - How Women's Sexuality Shaped Human Evolution. It gives his arguments of how gender heirarchy tended to come about in Homo sapiens and Mulier sapiens. Shlain is a physician and, judging by his writing, an environmentalist. To wit, on page 130 he comments "It could be argued that has degenerated from its beginnings as a symbiotic predator to a parasite and has now transformed into a planet-devouring pathogen."

My list of books that I want to obtain is growing by leaps and bounds. He is very careful to cite his sources. And I can "justify" buying them based on my more-or-less research project.

Time for some (more) football.
