The Warming

Well, we threw a party and people came. So technically we have warmed our house. TransMooCow invited a number of her grad school colleagues, we provided meat and booze and Ferris wheel, and when it darkened we lit up the rocket stove for some dangerously good times. Even Tika the Dog behaved herself when another canine showed up. TMC's student advisor brought her two year old Maya, and though I did not witness it she and Tika apparently had a "moment". I'm glad the dog is good with kids. People enjoyed the Wheel, the food and the beer, and I hope the company as well. I met a young gent who moved here to be with his beau and had the good fortune to land a job after two months of searching. This gives me hope.

Watched the Incredible Hulk (Ed Norton) tonight, thoroughly enjoyed it. Much better and more absorbing than the Ang Lee effort.
