So, a leisurely hike to the bus stop and a stroll through downtown later, and I'm at work. Pat is the only other person in our department in today; apparently our manager was the only one who actually bothered to call his/her team and tell them they didn't have to come in to work! (Oh, wait.. there was the email from my boss at 7 AM that would have done nobody any good unless they happened to check their work email between 7 and when they would leave for work) I went out for a little spin in the snow a few times yesterday, and it wasn't so bad. Apparently there's some sort of salt shortage, because PENNDOT ain't doing jack shit out there. It was fun spinning around, practicing handbrake turns, and in general just trying to stay out of other people's way. My car is pretty good in the snow, but I still can't wait until I get my next car.

It was a very nice weekend. The SLF has had to work every night since Friday, including tonight, so we're going to do our VD dinner tomorrow night. Not quite sure where yet, but there are some good options out there. Paul once again came over Saturday to help me finish putting the bike together. I took a few pictures, but left my Flash card at home. I'll post those tomorrow. If the weather cooperates at all I might even get to ride late this week, but we'll see how much snow melts by then.

Yesterday I cleaned up my place some, and then sat and watched an "Academy consideration" DVD copy of LOTR:TTT. Makes me think I should find a DVD burner soon to store these little treasures when I come across them.

Tonight having some people over for WRC Rally Sweden party. Always a good time with that group.
