Awakened at 3:30 with moon light in my face, and Ray breathing in my ear (probably turned over to avoid the moonlight). After a bit, got up and went to read in the other room. Almost got back to sleep. The good news: this probably means it will be sunny today and warmer inside.

Yesterday morning, Ray went to the eye doctor. I sat in the waiting room, a lot longer than I expected. Almost used up my iPhone battery. I dropped him off at his office and went on to the Ramsey center, where I rode the bike for 30 minutes. The machine said that was 10 miles, but it didn't seem that hard. Listened to music on my phone. After shower and dressing, time to get some lunch on the way to the library. Once there, checked my email and my friend Le'Ann had asked me to come by. She was in a scary wreck Tuesday morning and, although fine, still a little shook up and not wanting to be alone.

On her way to work in the dark and the rain, she had switched lanes, getting ready to get off the highway. Ahead, a car's tail lights or brake lights too close to swerve. Air bags deployed, front of the car crushed (I saw pictures), windows broken. She walked away. Honda Civic, incredible design. The car ahead had stopped because it had been sideswiped by another, but obviously, don't stop on the highway! Behind Le'Ann, a car stopped and put on flashers. Behind her, a lumber truck stopped. But the pickup behind that truck hit it. A piece of wood went through the windshield and out the back of the pickup truck cab...and that driver was not hurt either. Amazing and terrifying. Le"Ann has a ticket for following too closely, which she doesn't even mind, except that she is afraid someone will sue her. She is mostly glad to be alive.

Needless to say, I wasn't in the library long enough to get much done. One cover letter ready to print off.

My favorite thing yesterday was an interview I did of a young man interested in going to Middlebury. They are not doing on-campus interviews any more. I have three Skype inteviews to do. I think that means no one from around here has applied. This boy, Andrew, is from Long Island. He is brilliant...and personable. He is taking 6 AP classes. For fun, he entered a contest to recite pi the longest. He learned it to 225 places...in ninth grade! He is athletic, playing track, cross-country and baseball. And he is first chair clarinet in band. He also volunteers to coach an autistic running team. I said they should admit him.

After that, we went to potluck and choir. When we got home, I read a little in bed, but fell asleep before 10.
