Reading: just started Jens Ludwig's new book Unforgiving Places. Not far in just yet, but so far it's great! I've never liked the Becker model for thinking about violent crime, so he's preaching to the choir there.

Doing: I seem to be walking the dogs a lot right now
Cooking: still loving Madhur Jaffrey
