Dire Possible Weather! Stay Home! Snow is Predicted!

Whatever.

We haven’t had any snow fall since yesterday morning.

Had a lovely time yesterday–went to Fairmont to have a New Year’s dinner with Kim and Mike. Nothing big, just take-out from the Great Wall, but it was very nice since we hadn’t seen Mike since before Christmas. Came home and Michael fell asleep on the sofa. Or, as he put it, “I’m not sleeping. I’m listening.”

Yes, dear.

Today was spent on laundry and studying. Finishing the last chapter for my health policy class was like pulling teeth–the previous chapters were interesting. This chapter I may read before bed every night. Should put me right out.

This reads like something my brother would have liked, back when he used to delight in cornering us somewhere, and then telling us all about the tax treaty that the United States has with Guam.

My brother has moved on to more subtle forms of torture and torment than those he used when we were younger.

Elsewhere, Slate today snagged a piece of tofu off my plate as we were getting ready to eat, but after several minutes of licking and chewing, decided that perhaps she didn’t care for crispy bean curd in brown sauce after all.

Cats are weird.

And that’s about it, other than this from today’s comics:

ADDENDUM the First:
It started snowing! We’ll see what happens…
