Update

I now have approximately 1 and a 1/2 pages of my paper typed. This stuff really interests me (macroeconomic issues always do - though I must admit that I am much more partial to micro issues) but for some reason my brain just does not want to type. I made myself a cup of earl grey and finally got to use my tea ball. Tea ball. Ha. What a terrible way to describe it. It was yummy. But I figured something else might do me better, so I am now having a glass of wine. Red wine to be exact. Georges DeBeouf to be even more exact. It's fruity yet spicy, which is good since I prefer spicy and earthy to fruity. But this fruitiness is just spicy enough to be good. It's also dryer than I expected (though not to dry). Also good considering I love love love dry red wine.

Also, my husband picked me up a Mars Bar. The great thing about living in Boston is that it's relatively easily to get food from other countries, and we are fortunate to have an Irish grocer down the street that sells food from Ireland and Great Britain (not surprising, considering we live in Brighton, which is the new Southie).

But I digress, and must return to my paper.
