Get well soon wishes to Laura!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So my day began with a bomb threat. No seriously. LAUSD closed today after a bomb threat was called into a board member.

Yikes! Stay safe, LA!

Yeah, I feel bad that my first reaction isn't fear, it's crud! Now I'm stuck with the kids.

I'm a bad mom

No, that's natural.

We were in the car on our way to school when someone texted Katie.

I know it's awful to say, but I'm having a distinct snow day vibe. I'm sure it was credible and they took it seriously, but it still feels like an extra day off.

The forecast said 1-2 inches of snow overnight. The forecast lied - we are more like 6-8 inches so far and it is still falling. SO glad I work from home. K-Bug normally goes to work around noon on Tuesdays and she is hoping they close the office. The roads are CRAZY. I don't know if the snowplows weren't ready or what.

Bomb scare is nuts. Have they found anything?

Welcome Otto.

Health~ma to Laura and Shrift.

Yay, Otto!

I'm sorry about the bomb scare, Burrell.

My office is doing a daily cookie thing--there's a calendar, and one person per day brings in their favorite cookies. Today my manager brought in something like ground up Oreos in a chocolate ganache--Oreo truffles, basically. So good.

I got to work on time! Only a couple of inches fell last night, and they actually treated the roads and driveways this morning. I parked so backing up is downhill, which should help with the getting stuck on ice problem I had last night. Though with with the blowing snow going on out there, I expect I'll have a snowdrift up to my bumper by tonight.

Connie, this is typically the week I would come out to Salt Lake for work, but we had decided a while back that this month we would do the updates over the phone. My PM told me about how much snow you got yesterday and said he was glad I wasn't traveling this week.
