[Advent day 11] Malachi 3:1-4
1 "See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says the LORD Almighty.

2 But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, 4 and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the LORD, as in days gone by, as in former years.
I don't remember snow in the forecast.  But when I left work today it was windy and I felt precipitation but I couldn't quite discern it until I hit the street and saw the swirling white.  It was little flecks of snow but lots of them and windy.  I was happy.

Today commenced the coldness which even I find uncomfortable upon first leaving the warm indoors but after maybe 10 minutes of walking I'm exhilarated and happy.

Oh I forgot to mention yesterday that at the mini-mall just before the bridge (when coming from Harvard) it looks like each individual tree branch is lighted.

"I'm writing to remind you of Mike Wheeler's presentation at the NOM seminar this afternoon (3-4:30 in Baker Library 103).  He will be presenting preliminary findings in research he is doing on lying and truth-telling on the television game show, Friend or Foe."

It makes me sad that I can't skip work to go to the lectures.  I probably could if I really wanted to, but this one wasn't quite pressing enough.

I did spend my evening at the following:
