The first heavy snow of the year should be an automatic city-wide holiday. Think about it: every location gets increased accidents on this day. It would save a lot of money, and even lives!
The snow falls on a weekend? GREAT. Let the weekend workers win for once!

I get it... I felt that way about snow when I was ten, too.

I decided today to get a croissant and cappuccino from the bakery at the end of my street while walking the dog. As I tied her off to the bike rack, a kind stranger offered to go in and get my order so I could stay with my dog.

Sunshine, blowing leaves, joy.

In other news, I was in a research study these past three weeks, exploring the effects of artificial sweeteners on Crohn's disease. I had to go without any diet coke for a month! Then I had to eat measured doses of sucralose for two weeks. Glad to help science, but also glad to get back to normal!
