• Half a snow day today, and the gods' blessings upon landlords who do the plowing themselves. I fared better getting to work than I did getting home, which itself was fine until the snowbank I landed Rufus the White Honda in. I'm pretty sure I can get out again, provided I have access to the shovel.

• This past weekend was a Kids Weekend. Inter-sibling combat was substantially down, teen melodrama was holding steady, and there was a talent show and a matinee of Oz the Great and Powerful in the mix, the former mostly making up for the deficiencies in the latter.
