Snow Day

All the schools are closed today. The University of Guelph isn't, but getting there would not be all that easy from here - and the forecast isn't promising either. Fortunately for me, I burned all the files I'm working on right now onto a backup CD yesterday and took them home because I wanted to do some work last night. So today, I work from home. I must say, I'm glad. Since the laneway was cleared at 8:30 a.m., four inches of snow have fallen and it's still coming down.

I like my new place. I've now slept on my new loft twice, but I've yet to prepare a meal here. Tonight will be the first (I'm spoiled, I know, but I've been up at Lorenz's or out with Phil every night in the past week. Except for the two nights when I thought beer, trail mix and crackers were a fine dinner plan!).

I'm looking out my window as I type this, and I see the kids goof off with their snowboards in the mountains that the tractor pushed up when the yard was cleared. I see the snow blowing past my window, I see the traffic crawl along the road on the other side of the trees, I hear Simon working away in the barn. I'm happy I'm tucked away in here. Slow as molasses dial-up and all!
