A Winter Walk

This university was open today (as we suspected it would be), so beowabbit and I trekked out into the snow for to get to work. It's .6 of a mile to the Davis T stop, but my walk was made easier because I got to walk in his tracks. :-) It wasn't windy at all, which allowed us to enjoy the prettiness.

It's quite a ghost town over in my department. Just 3 of us here out of an office of 25 people, but we're the 3 with jobs that can't really be done from home. So here I'll be for the day.

Fed Up With Lunch

While on my lunch break (which I almost always take at my desk), I stumbled across a blog called
Fed Up With Lunch: The School Lunch Project, written (with daily photography) by a teacher in a Midwestern inner-city school who made a project out of eating the same lunches that her students were served every school day for a year.



Ugh. Poor kids. Her goal has been to bring this garbage food to light and promote improvement in school meal programs. It made me extra grateful for my comparatively luscious Sbarro spaghetti & meatball lunch. She recently got her book deal, as so many good bloggers do these days (dammit, that's what I wanted with my short-lived blog about anti-privacy upscale bathrooms. Guess I picked too narrow a bitching niche.) So although her blog is wrapping up, the content is still there and worth a look. Be warned, it could put you off your lunch!
