Snow Day

Last night a wonderful winter storm went through. We received about 3" of snow, followed by sleet, followed by ice. I woke up, looked out the window, then picked up the phone and left a message for my manager that I wouldn't be in. See, I don't mind the snow and we do have an all wheel drive Subaru that I'd take, but the ice is an issue. On TV and the radio I saw/heard the accidents this morning and after processing that information, I was like, "Um, I don't think so."

So I had a wonderfully productive day. Well sort of... I used the snow blower to clear out my driveway and the neighbor's. I caught up on some movies, I watched 21 followed by Ocean's 11. It made me want to go to Las Vegas. "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!" Plus the goat / car problem in 21 is classic mathematics:



Also, I like the last line Clooney says to Brad Pitt in Ocean's 11, "Ted Nugent called, he wants his shirt back..."

I just watched 21 as well and now WWCD is a new phrase in my vocabulary. I've never gambled or been to a casino but now I want to just to hear folks say it.

kranki The casino's are very cool! They can also be very addicting! I can remember sitting at a machine saying, "one more pull", "just $20 more"... It's a good thing I live 2000 miles from Las Vegas!

It's really very difficult in this active life to listen news on TV, so I just use world wide web for that purpose, and take the most recent information.
