Why I love Minnesota

We got A LOT of snow last night--I'd say close to 10 inches. I woke up this morning and looked out the window and noticed someone with a giant snow blower was clearing the sidewalk for our neighbor Barb that I always clear. I thought "Great, all I'll have to do is clear Barb's driveway and our walks and drive way." By the time I got ready a second person was clearing our sidewalks with his giant snow blower. I got out there in time to yell a "thanks" to him.

Still had to clear our walks from the sidewalks to the house and Barb's driveway, but this is what I love about Minnesota. I don't know these guys, but they thought it would be nice to just do a bit of clearing for the neighborhood since they owned the big 3 foot across (more or less) snow blower (instead of my having to to use my 18 inch snow blower over and over again).

The weather was perfect for being outside too. It was hovering just around 31 degrees. Wendy and Tony went out for a while to clear some of the walks too. I was originally going to go to a Composers Forum workshop today, but they cancelled it due to the weather. I'm actually glad they did. It's been nice just to stay at home. Tonight we're going to make pizzas at home and watch the Oscars.

Babel: Thumbs Down!

I'd rather watch Nacho Libre again than try to sit through Babel one more time. If you are going to try to watch it, take Dramamine first.

My son, the comedian

Tommy wakes up this morning. He comes into our bedroom and gives Wendy a kiss.

She says "My dear boy."

He says "Do I have antlers?"
