The Snow Lay on the Ground

Its snowing, beautifully and relentlessly, meaning, mercifully, that we couldn’t go to CC as All the schools canceled. I say mercifully because I seem also, overnight, to have acquired a flu. I’m sitting here wrapped up in a large blanket considering that, as long as I don’t throw up too often, we may as well do some math and English.

Yesterday, sometime very early in the morning (it really felt more like the middle of the night) I went over to the old house with a flashlight and blanket and a heater and staked out, hoping my cat would come back to me. He didn’t unsurprisingly and now the house is permanently shut up and the keys turned over to the Episcopal Diocese of Central New York so I will have to finally put signs up around the neighborhood and call the paper.

Anyway, that’s what we’re about today.
