Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I can VPN and or log into Blackboard. I may text my student worker and see if she can work at home, too, as she has no boots and walks!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm still at my parents', where it's 10 degrees, windchill -3. About eight inches of snow so far.

Punishingly Intricate

Pretty sure I'm working from home for the morning anyway but nobody else has emailed in about it yet and I don't want to be the first one.

We are in the middle of the snowstorm and I am at work. They never cancel, and i always come out of sheer bloodimindedness.

If you ever hear that I died in a snowbank, avenge my death!

Amy, the kid is 6. Katie stayed up with all of the kids, I think. She's actually the one who agreed to watch the kid and technically it's her friend's kid so she agreed to handle it.

Dad arrived between 10 and 11. Unreal especially if you all know how bedtime is a super big deal in our family. Our kids were in bed at 7:00 PM on New Years Eve!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Dad arrived between 10 and 11.

That is appalling. I hope K ripped him up one side and down the other and that he crawled to your front door on hands and knees, groveling.

Grrr. Not acceptable!

It's sunny out but it looks like it is snowing due to the wind. Not dealing with it yet.

I’m leaving for work now. Instead of walking five blocks to work, I’m going to walk one block to the subway and take it one stop.

Tom, I took one bus two blocks so I could catch another bus, rather than walking up a hill in the snow.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I made it to the Catskills mostly ahead of the serious snow, in a rental SUV that felt safe. Here's to all the people who have to be at work, you are heroes all.

It's 3F here, but that is actually pretty normal for this time of year, and the house is warm.
