This is where we took a walk last Saturday. Since Monday, it’s snowed around 9″. After the break yesterday, which was sunny enough to start melting the roof snow into Sword-of-Damocles icicles hanging precipitously off the gutters, it’s begun snowing again.

Spouse and I were lucky enough to be offered tickets to the Chieftains last night. We were not lucky enough to have the Chieftains play on a clear, non-snowy night. The snow started up again while we were indoors. Of course. Because it’s February, and God wants to remind us that [...]

Over there on the right I posted a To-Do list that includes running and writing goals.
