Snow day

(As all of you could tell, I took 24 hours off from the news of the world today. Sorry, but even a curmudgeon like myself needs a break every now and then.

Besides, we had our first snow of the season this morning, and in this household that means only one thing. Well, OK, more than one - but they all add up to a single, joyous thought.

Snow day!!! Shoveling, coffee, and conversation with our terrific neighbors. Chopping a little wood, and building a warming fire. Snowmen and snowball fights. Good food and hot cocoa, and watching a movie with the kids. Or two. And some recreational reading for a change.

Hope you had a great Sunday as well. Now, back to work...)
