strays
Time for a few stray thoughts. I haven’t done this in a while, and I can’t come up with anything but complete randomness right now, so the timing seems auspicious: Granola. I eats it. I didn’t used to because I thought it was ucky, and I thought it was ucky because it was pretty bad Read.

final
Well, who’s going to come clean this up, then? Because it’s not gonna be me! I’m done shoveling snow. We here in Wisconsin have a saying about winter: It’s not over until April.

decent snow man
More snow today, and the weather squadron expected it to keep coming down all weekend, with temps just below freezing. By Sunday morning we might even have enough to build a decent snow man. Read.

shoveling
I woke from sleep after a mid to a sound I remember hearing a long, long time ago: a snow shovel scraping across concrete. Popped out of bed expecting to see another light dusting and instead was pleasantly surprised by about four inches on the ground and more coming down fast. (When I say things Read.
