Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Late opening. Originally was liberal leave, but I guess the announcement of the authorities wanting people to stay off the roads made a slight dent. Stupid machismo.

Anyway, I think I'll go nap a bit. Opening an hour later than when I usually show up? I'll show up when I show up.

Yeah! Schools are closed so we are. I want to sleep but the dog wanted to go out. As he did at 5 this morning. That's a stressful endeavor. It's treacherous out there!

I got the garbage out before the trucks came -- if they come, since it's snowing and that may be chancy, especially getting them down our skiddy hill.

However, my car is tucked safely in its parking space, so I don't have to worry about the skidding too much, personally. Yesterday a schoolbus got stuck because somebody parked a huge moving truck on the wrong side of the street. I had to go and move my car away from the corner (where it was completely legally parked, mind you) so the bus could back up a little and make a wiiiiiiddddddde turn.

Suspiciously, we always get bad weather on weekends, after we are at work, or it snows overnight and is clear by dawn. Is it too much to ask to have snowpocalypse (if we must have a snowpocalypse) between the hours of 4-10AM? Then maybe...maybe, I might get a snow day.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Hey, Danny Strong is on Leverage!

His character was supposed to be a half-brother, right? Because there was a 1½-foot difference in height between him and his brother. Is that even genetically possible?

Also, he and I not only look alike, we also have the same balding pattern.

I had seriously weird dreams last night. And the night before I woke up with a start, because I thought I saw my father in the dim.

Because books.

That was weird, Tom. And for whatever reason, last night's episode didn't grab me -- I was distracted and not really following it. Although I did manage to catch Kane in glasses which is always a treat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Weirdly, there were several inches of snow out where I live in the suburbs (not really), and more coming down, and when I got down here to my office, it was raining and just a little slush on the ground. No wonder it's not a snow day!

I have to go shovel the driveway now. Blergh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I thought the same thing about the white font, Tom.

Once I got past the Holland Manners! and Jonathan! thing.
