The major feature of today was that I was
Santa Claus at the
library for the county tree lighting ceremony. I got to ride in a
fire truck. It was a smaller one, basically a modified
dullay. I can see how
people do this every year for hours on end. The kids who are extremely excited to see you, more than make up for the kids who are not. You just
soak in their joy and excitement and you hardly do anything. Amazing. I will get pictures.
I have also watched more of
Contact.
Read to page 532 of
Green Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson.
I received a Samsung Galaxy Tab E Tablet in the mail that I had broken down and ordered on Cyber Monday (note: this links to wikipedia which I have been trying to avoid, but most cyber monday results are about cybe monday deals, not about cyber monday.)
I have my excuses. (
E-reader!
Yoga videos!
Chess practice!)
I also received
Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection by
Brandon Sanderson
What's the
Cosmere? Why I am glad you asked! Basically it is the
meta setting for most all his settings in his novels. I think I heard him say something about planning to write 38 books set in the Cosmere at
Worldcon a few years ago. But I know he is already writing more that he hadn't planned. Fortunately for us all,
he writes and publishes fast. He has released six books so far this year!
One final thing then bed:
Did you know that
Santa Clause is a official bodisattva in Budhism?! I have been thinking about this all day.
