A couple of thousand words (plus a few) before I go....

With everything else going on yesterday, I didn't mention that Emily was again recognized at Daemen College's All High art show yesterday afternoon. It didn't win any of the juried awards, but at least these two judges were plenty impressed by hers (as well as all of the chosen pieces):



Also, after we got home from that, I saw the closest-to-home picture of this weekend's east coast snowstorm, the one that completely missed us. Once again, Emily's car (the one I sent to Maryland for the winter so it wouldn't get snowed on that much /ironic) bore more than its share of brunt:



It's been an all-indoor day today. Eleanor deboned some chicken she cooked last week, with the able assistance of Zoey, who came as close to jumping into the carcass as health laws allowed her. Eleanor then gave her a bath, which wound up leaving them both pretty soaked. For my part, I've run a bunch of bills to send out before I leave, washed the kitchen floor before it rose from the ground and attacked us, and made no plans whatsoever concerning some sporting event supposedly occurring later today. What, didn't the AFC win the NFL title with its best players last week?

You have one very talented gal, there Cap'n! Congrats to her, and how did she know what the inside of my head looked like?

The mega-storm was the reason Bill left Charlottesville a day early this past week. He was determined NOT to be stuck there for the weekend.

Loving the car irony. So has the car really seen more total snow this winter than buffalo or just on these rare occasions?

I'd guess the seasonal total is pretty close, but we've gotten ours in 2-4 inch dribbles, nothing close to a foot or more at a time (Emily's only snow day of the school year was for wind and cold), while they've been bombed twice and probably had little else.

You've lived near here, so you know how the natives tend to ignore anything that isn't humongous.
