Man I miss being in a neighborhood where you can walk to stuff (like the Polish bakery for paczi!) ... although I'm glad to not have to be driving to get there or parking in that neighborhood right now.
Last time I had a galette des Rois was when I drove from the Eastern Shore to the French bakery in Fells Point to get one for an Epiphany/Taking-down-the-tree game night.
We're having perfect winter weather here -- it's snowing pretty, but 34 degrees, so not really sticking.
We always said next year's cake, though I think that was more for calorie reasons than time period reasons.
That is much more sensible. I did not have sensible workplaces, I think. Getting used to just always having cake available for a couple of months is probably not wise.
Mmm, tamales.

And here it's in the high 70s. For differing values of "perfect" and "winter."
The thing with the closure on 39th is that it's the section that hasn't been oozing water for the past year. And to fuck things up worse, I've read parts of York north of 39th got shut down due to a watermain. So you could basically go south on Greenmount to get anywhere west of here. Clusterfuck.
I'd sent a note to the commuter column, just to put it out there (39th closed, beware) and uh, reporter wants me to call. Um.

Oh man I REALLY miss that place!
As for perfect winter weather, I don't think I'll look at snow the same way again after last week. For real. I've been psychologically traumatized (esp coming as it did in conjunction with them finding Bob's tumor).

Yeah, I believe that. Sorry, you guys!

Heh.

Growing up in Wisconsin during a decade of heavy snow, I think it'd take five feet of snow to make me look at snow differently....
I will say, I think Boston is still traumatized by the Blizzard of 78, and it's been 30 years! Like, I'm pretty sure that's why they closed schools here last week when we didn't end up getting any snow. And that was "only" 27 inches, but no one was prepared, was the problem. [link]
Amy, I'm quite happy with my Asus netbook. I dragged it around Greece last fall with no problem, and now it's going to my Wednesday ground school class for note taking. I wouldn't want to do intensive Photoshop work on it, but for my light-use purposes (notes and web, mostly) it's fine.
