Hunkered down

-
It’s called a “bomb cyclone”, a winter storm with hurricane force winds.  And with it, lots of snow.

Yesterday my boss told us to take our laptops home, to plan to work from home today.

By late afternoon most of the schools made the decision to close today.

Last night Drew and Marc prepped the new snow blower for its inaugural run.

And so my laptop and I headed to Drew’s house.  I’ll be spending today warm and cozy in his den.

    I love Snow but being in Fort Worth, Texas we don't see much of it. Although my VA texted me to let me know she is expecting a Blizzard so I asked her to send me some snow. Just incase she doesn't would you?

    I'm near Boston, and we're having the same storm. A number of people in my area have said they're hearing thunder! And right now, I can't even see the houses on the next street through the blowing snow.

    The Mommies Reviews, I’d love to send some of this white stuff your way. And Kim, we are gearing the thunder here on Long Island, too

    Snow is one reason I live in Texas. Hate being cold. We have summers from hell but I can always take a cold shower, drink something cold and cool off. Sometimes it's hard to get or stay warm. Keep all your white stuff up there. Please!!! :-)

    Oh, is that what that means? I kept seeing the term all over the place, but I hadn't slowed down enough to look for a definition. Hope you're staying warm and safe.

    Yeah. That’s what it means.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
