Yawn. It’s been a long week.
I believe it’s finally winter, perhaps for the first time since last year. I had to walk across campus this morning and a short distance around lunch time, and I was glad I had my heavy coat and hat and gloves.
Classes start Tuesday. The three-day weekend will be nice, but things are going to get wild come next week. Luckily we have a good staff to handle the bulk of it.
Anybody have any exciting plans for the weekend? Denny’s cousin’s family is coming to town, so I think we’re getting together with them Saturday night. I was going to make lamb eggrolls (an attempt to duplicate some really good ones we had in a restaurant once), but that was before I found out about the Saturday night gathering, and I’m trying to have only one junky meal a week.
There’s a guy in my seminar who keeps moving his head in a weird way. I can’t tell if it’s just a personal quirk or if he has some kind of neurological disorder. I wonder if I do something like that that makes people wonder if I have a neurological disorder.

THIS JUST IN:Â The chemical that makes hot peppers hot (capsaicin) may be an effective tool in cancer treatment, because it destroys cancer cells’ mitochondria but not regular cells’.
A good excuse to eat more hot peppers! I’m all for it.
Snow continues to fall here. It finally feels AND looks like winter. Another two inches expected tonight – HOOT~!
So does this mean that the more bland your diet is, the greater your risk for cancer?!?!
I don’t think the study indicates a link between dietary capsaicin and cancer or lack thereof.
I still like hot peppers, though.
