A Penny

Friday morning, I went to the PTO Federal Credit Union for some change, including ten pennies for a dime (I like to have exact change for my morning coffee). One of the pennies seemed odd, and didn't show Honest Abe, so I thought it might be Canadian -- but wait, that wasn't Elizabeth the Second, either. On close examination, I found that it was a 1942 Canadian penny showing George VI.

I doubt it's worth much, but it's a little curiousity, so I kept it, and put it aside from the other pennies.

Snow and the Reader's Chair

It's snowing today; I remember chatting with a friend yesterday. She warned me about the snow, and I said I should be used to snow, having grown up further north and at a higher altitude. She warned me, though, that drivers around here might not be so used to snow, so I should be careful of them. That was a good point.

I have finished listening to Shards of Honor on a set of tapes formerly owned by Meg Justus, may she rest in peace. I thought it well done; there were two participants, Carol Cowan and Michael Hanson of the Reader's Chair, but they managed to make more than two characters sound distinctive.
