Rough morning. Digging out the car and doing the Sunday chores on Monday. Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is Sunday...at least how we're doing it. Good thing too as we got walloped with snow. After digging out and shoveling yesterday, we essentially blockaded ourselves inside and had a marathon Lost session. This morning I wake up to the exact same amount of snow as fell yesterday. More digging, more scraping. And the news mentions chance of snow this afternoon, and some more tomorrow.

My spirit.lays shattered like a piece of fine china at an angry bull convention. I don't mind the cold. I can even enjoy it at times, but snow and ice? Argh.

So screw it. I'm done shoveling for the day. Maybe if my new best friend Walter comes by (local kid who shovels walks) I may shell out, but I'm done. Phooey.

And today I'm at that weird combination of holiday and workday. Pretty Maggie has the day off, and we have plans for later in the day, but I still have work to do. So I'll get as much done as I can today, and get a super-early start tomorrow.

Lost be damned.

Well, not reall. Damn show is still messing with my dreams And it just gets weirder and weirder. Still, we might complete our Lost-quest to see every single past episode in time for the season 5 start.

Not for wimps.

Okay, got a late start, so time to post this and get back to work. Today's link takes you to The Old Farmers Almanac website. When I was a kid, I used to look forward to getting this every year for its puzzles, trivia, woodcraft, and weather predictions. Over the years it seemed to get more and more packed with advertising and became less fun to read. Still, it's good to see an online version of it.

Cheers!
