Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

'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"

Do not ire the Buffistas, for their anger is subtle and implacable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I swept off the steps, but I know it will need re-doing after the neighbor gets done with the snowblower. I guess I'll wait and see if he's done by 9, and leave then either way. He should be, since the snow is so light, and there's not that much of it.

Our wings are not tired.

Chill down here too! 53! I told Zoe she had to be quick with her walk and get right down to business, and she listened. Good doggy.

It's snowing here, but not too bad yet. I am at work, because I am stubborn.

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

I have to get to work. But that means going outside in -2 degrees, and walking about half a mile from the parking garage to my office.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

It isn't bad here, but I am still not to work. I am super frustrated because I had an important meeting at 9! I somehow snoozed my alarm clock so that I didn't wake up again until I sat bolt upright at 8 am. I immediately called a cab. They said 15 minutes. I went outside at 8:15. I emailed my boss at 8:30 that I might be a little late if they didn't come soon. It is a 15 minutes drive. At 8:40 I called and was told 3 minutes. At 8:57 I called and the dispatcher yelled at the driver. At 9:07 I got picked up! The traffic is horrible. We have been in stop and go traffic for 20 minutes.

I am going to miss the whole meeting with big!boss and my boss will have to cover for me and tell me what is happening.

It is my own fault for sleeping through the alarm( it was still on when I woke up, but it was a song, so it ended)

It's gotten up to 6°F! And the wind is nasty. I swept/shoveled. Again.

Telecommuting again. I may lose my mind.

There's no way I'm comfortable getting out of my neighborhood and I don't know when that will improve.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I got to work with no problems, and of course my boss is here already, along with a very few other people. But she is in her office with the door closed, on her cell phone, so I'm not too pressed. At least the party tonight is not cancelled!

We really dodged a bullet -- we just got a couple-three inches in town, but an hour away it's like 16"!

OK, now she's on a work call -- she must have just been waiting for it when I walked by. Sorry, boss!

Not much snow here, but it's way too cold.
