WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 21st

Hi. I read more of A Thousand Acres this morning. The Politiken newspaper never showed up but that isn't too much of a bummer because I mainly look at pics and make guesses about the news anyway.
I went into DIS to the Glyptotek this morning. It is a cool place. Carl Jacobson (the founder of Carlsberg Brewery) gave money to set up the museum. His name is everywhere in gold writing just in case you happen to forget. The your guide was fine. She was sick as is half of Copenhagen so she didn't have much of a voice. We looked at depictions of the body throughout history. There are mainly statues at this museum. Lots of greek, roman, and egyptian stuff. Many statues with fairly similar in style faces and idealized athletic bodies. Pretty impressively large collection. There were a bunch of school groups around touring and sketching. There was one group of 3-6 year olds and then a middle school group.
I went back home for lunch and had leftover frikadeller.
I did some reading for homework. I went for a run down Jagtvej. It is a fairly busy road and you have to keep stopping at intersections. Not such a great plan. Oh well it was a new place to go. The run was made exciting by the WICKED strong winds and the snow. We are having a blizzard/snowstorm here today. It is really pretty but not much fun to be out in. Crazy wind and not much accumulation of snow.
I watched the end of Rear Window on TV.
Ida took Karen to the doctor because she is still really sick. Poor thing. I (along with lots of DIS people) have a milder version of it coughing dry throat generally tired feeling. Fluish type bug. No fun.
