brisk west wind

but warm enough to walk around the park by mid-day....was still freezing on the sun-rise walk.....had a bowl of stew and a biscuit for supper Thursday, so today will be hash-brown casserole and asparagus tips I suppose.....nothing interesting in the mail today, just solicitations....watched some strange Chinese movie last night on IFC, the kind with ninja type people flying around and huge battle scenes, and intrigue in the palace.....poisoned cups, that kind of thing.....don't remember the name of the movie.....then I watched some NBA.....
