But with some hot Chili and some smooth SMS...all will be well. I front loaded hours this week and will enjoy a costly, but deserved, five day weekend.
A fellow Lightfighter remarked on D.C.s perpetual trauma and drama when snow hits the area:
They could deal with an outbreak of dinosaurs more efficiently and with less surprise.
Dig, dig, dig -- that's what I did most of today here in Northern Virginia. And I had some help from neighbors and a family member.
ReplyDeleteShoveling off that wheelchair ramp is a bitch! But it's done now. I can only hope that no more significant snow is on the way.
But I have my reward now. The chili is ready! I made a big pot of chili for today -- figured that I'd need it.
Yep...shoveling sucked. Too many years of jumping our of airplanes have made for a back that doesn't stand up to snow shoveling well.
DeleteBut Chili is indeed a superb way to thaw afterwards. I'm going to give it about an hour, and crack the seal on a good Scotch.
I was up again before 5:00 AM this morning and out there shoveling like a fiend. The plows came by and blocked the wheelchair ramp, which also had to be shoveled. I have one vehicle that should be able to roll today, but the wheelchair van is still buried.
DeleteI am grateful that we have no sidewalk here. How the hell would I ever get that done in addition to all the rest?
I've been meaning to contact you about the possibility of your being the interviewee on The Gathering Storm Radio Show -- for a future date. If you're willing, I think that we could interview you on March 7. Email me if you're interested; my email address is on my sidebar.
