Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

SO proud on so many levels. 1) he knew he did not deserve it. 2) he knew he needed to talk to someone because it upset him. 3) he told both McPhee and me in his own time.

Tearing up over here...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Am watching a brilliant ad for a senior living place: All about how they don't have to deal with the snow, and all of their activities carry on like normal. Over shots of attractive white-haired people in a pool!

Yep.

Spent 2 hours working on the street. I cleared the start of it which was a horrid icy glacier. We're clear up to the first intersection. Unfortunately , after that, it gets dicey ( though there are more folks out now, so maybe they're working on that.) We may all be reversing in and out for a bit.

Especially looking at tonight's forecast. It makes me want to cry.

I'm back to teleworking with a blister that may be spawning a blister, and my boots need to dry out. Everything is thawing rapidly (it's 45°!!!!) and there are veritable rivers of melt running down the street.

Which is all going to freeze up tonight. Uhg. And I've GOT to get to the stores tomorrow.

I probably should feel bad that I'm letting a manager take over this leadership presentation when my manager said it would be a good opportunity for me to make a brand for myself. But it's not like I present at leadership meetings that often, and I'd rather have my brand be about collaboration and iteration than "here is a crappy presentation that I made all by myself."

Ugh, my mother is so classic her. She offered me a ride to the airport, and I knew she wouldn't want to do it, once I told her when! And sure enough, she is out -- granted, it's rush hour and dinner time, so I get it, but still.
