Nominal progress...

I'm about where I need to be, assignment-wise, although I am increasingly troubled by a persistent tendency to swap letters when typing. I have no idea what is causing this. In other news, Tim Ferriss's new The 4-Hour Chef hit my Kindle today (I preordered it quite a long time ago, during a special Amazon promotion) and the man himself was a guest on Dr. Oz's show today, which will no doubt help boost sales of the book. Oz is apparently a pretty influential guy. I went out to buy piñon nuts—aka, pine nuts—the other day, but there were none to be had around here for love or money because—according to the woman in the natural foods store (the second place I visited after finding the bulk bin at H-E-B yawning empty)—Dr. Oz had apparently recommended pine nuts on his show, as an appetite suppressant. Galina and I watched the segment, and I look forward to getting into the book. Time to get some rest.
