We’ve got six inches of snow already, and it’s coming down steadily. I decided to stay home. (I’m a compulsively responsible Capricorn type, so I’m feeling a little defensive about this, and have a multi-item list of reasons why this is okay, which I will be happy to provide anyone who’s interested.)
On my to-do list for today:
Listen to music (Caetano Veloso e Gilberto Gil at this particular moment, lending a nice Brazilian vibe to things)
Read (hmm, just finished a book, so I get to decide what to read next)
Make a sandwich involving a layer of me, a layer of afghan, and a layer of purring cat
Take a nap
Have a cocoa and toast snack
South eastern Connecticut checking in as about to get burried…
But as I’m retired I really had nothing much to do anyway. My list:
Feed my wife what ever she wants…she’s sick today.
Read: Extraordinary Popular delusions and the Madness of Crowds…and Michael Pollans * The Botany of Desire*.
Snow Blow the Drive
Rent several movies
Feed my wife again…
Build Snow man with Grand Son mini-coda
Possibly ice fish with GS too
take lots of pictures because this is probably it for snow this year.
I was hoping to make some phone calls, but since everything is closed, I can’t. Drat the luck.
So, I took Aaron to day care, which opened late (this was his first experience with falling snow, and he seemed to enjoy it for the brief period between leaving the house and going into the car), and I went to breakfast. Dunno what I’m gonna do now but it involves spending lots of time online, I’m sure.
My second day off in a row. I somehow managed to hurt my ankle in the wee hours of yesterday morning. I probably could have gone to work today if not for my ankle.
I’m sitting here talking to someone on AIM & thanking my lucky stars that the powers-that-be at my university had the good sense to cancel classes today.
Doper living in Northern Virginia. I waited out at the bus shelter for about an hour. Buses were coming and going, but not the one I needed. I saw several trucks and buses get stuck in the snow, so I decided to go back inside and call my supervisor to let her know I wouldn’t be in. This snow is all very entertaining, but the timing is off. Why can’t we have some monumental snowfalls in the beginning of the week?
