Tuesday : 06 December 05
I don’t know who put in an order for snow, but they got their money’s worth. And a lot more. It must have been “Buy one, get five free” day, because it snowed from… roughly 9:30 this morning until sometime after 7:00 tonight. And, of course, I called my father to let him know…

Then there was the snow-impeded homebound traffic. Joy. I must say that most people behaved and didn’t try to drive as if the roads were dry. That was a definite plus. Taking nearly an hour to make a normally twenty-five minute trip, however…? That was a minus.

Another plus was saving me from sitting at Borders for a few hours because the people in charge at ‘s job saddled them with four hours of overtime tonight. I knew that there were reasons why I don’t miss working there… I hung out with Eva and her boys, including watching Fosters Home for Imaginary Creatures. Interesting toon. And, it made me laugh.

picked me up and we headed for home. Pulling into the circle, we saw one of our neighbors starting to shovel our driveway; that was very nice and very appreciated. I put on some more appropriate clothes, grabbed a shovel and got to work on the rest of the driveway. He stayed outside and helped me finish the job.

I’m not sure what I want to do for the next couple of hours. I could take a trip to Paragon City or the Rogue Isles…. or I could take a hot bath and finish off a few more chapters of Bad Business. Although, my recent track record for reading in the tub without falling asleep isn’t very good. So far, I’ve managed to keep my books from falling into the tub, but a couple of those instances were very close calls.

Stray Toasters

I think that will do it for now.

Namaste.
