Another mild day in January as New York enjoys the warmest winter in my memory. Started listening to Dostoevsky's Idiot today. Condsidering it is about 24 hours long and I can do about half and hour a day -- we are talking 48 days -- which means about 2 and half months considering I never have a paper or a magazine or another book to read on the way to work. Sounds incredibly hard. Maybe I can listen to it during the jogs.

My sister's son Animesh heads off to Australia on the 1st of February. I am very happy for him. Young lad of 21 with hope in his heart and fire in his belly heading to a new land full of promise. He is going to do a master's program in computer science. He is an excellent guitar player and should get some opportunity to show his skills. What a wonderful feeling it must be.

Puja braved work today and is feeling terrible. No luck there.

Almost seems like I got something done at work today. Something more than pushing issue around.
