How's Your Snow Day Going?

Traffic around Watchung Plaza is at a lull, hot chocolate is being mass produced for the flock of kids at the house, and Turnpike spokesperson, Joe Orlando gave commuters a pass to stay home. If you did make it into work, beware the evening commute - predicted to be messy. Mellonbrush has been out snapping photos of the winter wonderland like the one above, at Watsessing Park. Send your photos to Baristanet Flickr group.

I actually made it into work but it's deader than a doorknob here. Will probably leave early before everything freezes over, including Hell.

I brought work home last night just in case - company wound up closing anyway - which was good as I wasn't planning on going in once they cancelled school.

Still working in my jammies (my favorite work clothes) and cooking dinner in the crock pot. My next door neighbor was kind enough to shovel my sidewalk for me. We usually trade off. My daugher is content, curled up on the couch reading with a cat in her lap. The dog is sitting ON my feet as I work.

All in all - a perfect day!

You must live in a condo. No shoveling? Ahh, the landscaper stopped by.

Iceman,

Have you tried any of the Lee Child 'Jack Reacher' novels yet?

I am the troll in the attic, typing (my hands are freezing!) while kids thunder through the house screaming and the dog barks and I can hear his claws slipping on the floorboards. Now the kids are outside, muffled-wool shouting, making angels.

I'm working from home, usual Friday routine. No doubt fulfilling Walleroo and Cathar's fantasies that using modern technology to enable me to work from home makes me a dilettante commuter. I will quit early to play with the dog in the snow and shovel the driveway so my husband won't have to when he gets home.

Mellon:

What memories that brings back. I grew up on Morse Ave. My best friend lived a few doors down from you and I spent countless hours playing "in frame". Thx.

My fantasies in any area of life, jerseygurl, are much richer and wilder than anything I might visualize, based on your somewhat pompous posts so far, of your life. You dream of a yacht, for example, and I conjure up a pirate ship which regularly sinks ships filled with cranky liberals, whose shades eventually wash up on Teddy Kennedy's beach at Hyannisport and, along with the shade of Mary Jo Kopechne, seek retribution upon the old alcoholic phoney for decades of legislative outrages and offenses against morality. They also establish a wind turbine farm off Nantucket while they're at it.

Walleroo, from your post underneath a certain barista's porch, would you care to add a fantasy of your own for the edification of jerseygurl?

cathar, we know that your fantasies usually contain someone with a clerical collar and probably a hair shirt or self flagellation.
