Snow afternoon :)

So we finally caught a break  :)  Here's hoping we get a whole snow day some day ... Actually, if it happened tomorrow, that would be a long weekend  :)

Well, now let me get this reading log done:
___________________________________________
7:07 p.m.  "Miracle Polish" by Steven Millhauser got printed in "The New Yorker"!  But it's 14 pages long  :(

7:11 p.m.  Briefly researched (on the internet) the burning question:  Is there such a thing as a "long story"?  Because this one is 14 pages ... And I learnt that "Encyclopedia of literature in Canada" (ed. William H. New, U of Toronto, 2000) might have something about that.  At any rate ... I'll start reading now.

7:20 p.m.  What kind of people have time "early in the morning" to polish their mirror?  "Before leaving for work"?  I'd have thought it more normal to make a mental note to myself to the effect that I should polish my mirror some day (some day when I have time) and left for work

7:24 p.m.  Okay, I anticipate magic realism

7:25 p.m.  So you weren't "the kind of man who looked at himself in mirrors," but still you were the kind om man who would stop on a work morning to polish your mirror?

7:32 p.m.  So is it Tuesday, or is it Friday?

7:50 p.m.  Okay, done.  Great story, but a little creepy ... and it wasn't even magic realism.  More next week  :)
