was a more or less adventure filled and certainly more upbeat day than the previous. The weather still sucked, but in a less cold way. For the first time in my life I was glad to feel 33 degree sleet/rain. Before the fall/flood, I rode uptown to the New York Academy of Medicine, which looks like an Egyptian temple, to the Rare Book Room, which looks like the Gryffindor Common Room. I was then shown an original 1543 copy of Vesalius's De humani corporis fabrica. I'm too lazy to even try to describe the experience right now, but I will take and post a photo after my second visit which is scheduled for next Tuesday.

The second adventure of the day involved roasting the green sumatra coffee that I bought at McNulty's the other day. More or less a successful undertaking, plus I learned that my smoke detector is completely nonfunctional.
