Mmm, jazz at an old church with thermoses of hot chocolate sounds super cozy!
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The treatment with mom appears to be working. Looks like we've dodged the bullet again inshallah.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Wahoo!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Great news, Trudy!
I've got a ticket to a show on Sunday night (the tour of Hell's Kitchen), but considering our forecast seems to be anywhere from 6 inches to 87 feet of snow, I'm not sure if the roads will be safe to actually get there. Guess all I can do is wait and see.

Crazy cold stuff. My sister heard the plow go by so she figured she would clear the ridge to her driveway. Checked and it was minus 26 so she figured it would wait. Her grandson takes care of it but she tries to help.
Don’t know if I mentioned that my niece in Otter Lake is going through breast cancer chemo. She teaches high school so gets exposed to lots of colds and stuff. She is doing well with her infusions but has isolated as much as possible at home and wears masks and gloves much of the time.

Oh, great. A chipped tooth. On a weekend, right before a major snowstorm. I’m going wait it out to see my regular dentist next week, and hope that it doesn’t get painful.

Ugh, Tom! Can you get one of those temporary repair things anywhere closeby?
