My main memory of those really cold and snowy winters in the late 1970s are of the whole family shoveling the damn driveway every two hours because the wind kept forming chest-high drifts.
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

Jesse, I don't get that. Does Fossil think you can't change the band on your own?
i'm trapped at the convention center today because my students are participating in Model UN. Thank god for wireless.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My dad had this tractor with a scoop on the front and a scrapy-blade on the back - he'd make these huge piles of show, which we'd then dig holes in or play "king of the mountain" on.
My parents did tell us stories of "the neighbor kid who dug a tunnel in a snow pile and it caved in on him." I forget if the kid died....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, I don't get that. Does Fossil think you can't change the band on your own?
Who knows. I'm guessing they think I can't measure the band on my own, which is the real issue, but STILL.

One of my great-uncles and a friend dug a tunnel in sandy earth and it caved in on them and they died.
In happier news...one of my most fun times as a kid was the winter of many blizzards (78, so i was 9) where there was a huge snow-plow created mountain of snow that we played on for weeks. We created a divot at the top and pretended it was a horse and sang "I'm a rhinestone cowboy" at the top of our lungs.

Oh my.
I never did that. I did, however, sing a version with the words, "I'm a rhinestone cow-pie."

Kat, you're right around the corner from me! Why oh why am I still here and still busy?
If you watch Sesame Street today, I *think* Gordon, Susan, Maria and Bob are all on occasionally.
Yep, they're all there. Plus Luis, Maria's husband. Mr Hooper died and was replaced by Alan. And Bob's not looking too healthy, if you ask me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Msbelle, Jesse and other Queensistas-- apparently the R, E, F & V are suspended in Queens. Because subways don't work when it rains, you know.

One summer, my sister and I couldn't stop singing, "Don't sneeeeeze out loud / Just keep it inside / and learn how to hide your geeerrrrrms."
