I think all school districts should cancel school like this:
NYC schools are open today even though the city is a giant slush pile right now. By the time I got to the subway this morning my umbrella must have weighed 5 pounds from all the ice.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh dear, take care everyone and keep warm if you can!

Highlights from the 2014 Sony World Photography Awards shortlist. Nicely distracting.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh dear, take care everyone and keep warm if you can!
Ditto!
I am glad your mother is feeling better, Dana, and for the Netflix

Sox, how many more (sizable) branches does the tree have to drop?
I am not in a snowy place but it is unexpectedly cold here (below freezing) and I was not appropriately clothed/did not pack right. Also, as of Yesterday I FINALLY felt ok, throat was not sore, etc...and then started coughing and this morning I am back to sick (drippy nose, sore throat). I think I now have a DIFFERENT sickness. Not pleased. Wtf body.
Maybe that's part of the AU?

Our wings are not tired.
Yay for good rest for Dana's mom.
May Consuela's dad get some relief today.
Gorgeous pictures. Alas, no listening to the school people, yet.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
OK. Wrote my answers to the questions about working at a Jesuit university, got people to cover my classes for today, and paid some guys with a snowblower $10 to clear out the street around my car so that I'll be able to get to work tomorrow. Next task, prep slides for the talk I'm giving as part of the on-campus interview I have next week.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Good on you.
I set a time to leave for classes, missed it due to faffing around with duke fundraising stuff. Scrambled like mad to get here, then spent time yapping with the office folks, still got into my classroom/chapel early enough to disrupt the previous class, set everything up and...now have twenty minutes to kill. Oops.
I was all worried about doing the setup without the SO while he's trying, but it was super easy. Oh well, thank goodness for internet.
