it is pouring down rain in houston today - we are getting the outer edges of the hurricane that hit mexico.  it is very weird that we are close enough to mexico that this hurricane is affecting us, but then again, of course we are close to mexico.  i just forget sometimes.

dinner tonight is homemade lentil soup, homemade baguettes, and a chocolate stout.  post-dinner activities will include catching up on the good wife and snuggling with ruby (if she lets me).  a good day.
