Cold and grey, although at least the weather guys are saying this should be our LAST cold front of the year.

Interesting news story from the Guardian -- Lieutenant John Pritchard and Private Christopher Elphick, killed in 1917 in the Great War, are laid to rest after being found in a farmer's field. There's a nice photo of the two men at the link, and a long write-up at the BBC, here.

Allan Arbus, the actor who played psychiatrist Sidney Freedman on M*A*S*H, has passed away. He was 95 (!). His first wife was Diane Arbus, which I felt like I should've known but didn't.

Have started Mitchell Zuckoff's Lost in Shangri-La: A True Story of Survival, Adventure, and the Most Incredible Rescue Mission of World War II. Wow, that's a long title.

There. Three things make a post.
