Things that are true

1. I like jelly beans.

2. I will be teaching ESL again soon. Starting next week. Getting up at 6:30 for a bike ride is going to be harder now than it was during the summer. Yes, it's warmer here than it is in many other theres, but it's cold enough in the dark and the morning. Especially on a bike. But I like a morning bike ride--it will wake me up. And I like teaching ESL, especially to intermediate-advanced adult students.

3. I like the educational Animal Planet shows, but not the reality ones like "Animal Cops."

4. Two new cookbooks have been helping me make more interesting veggies, especially greens.
