Signs and Portents
January 12, 2009
Hey, it’s Monday…and it’s snowing here in Collins. As a child, snow brought with it the sweet, tantalizing possibility of a snow day from school, or at least snow to play in, make snowballs from, etc. Now it means something else to me. You know how when it snows you have to go outside and knock the snow off of your car (at least the windshield and windows and stuff so that you can see)? Well, I have to knock the snow off of every car in Northern Auto’s inventory when I get to work, and we have dozens. This is pretty much the first thing I think about when it snows. I also think of my loved ones who will have to make long drives to and from work over icy roads, so I’m not a happy burro this morning.
Anyhow, spent most of the weekend repairing the wall between the guest bathroom and the laundry room, and spent the rest of the time clearing a path through the cluttered garage to facilitate the arrival of the replacement dryer. Did take a break Sunday to have a nice visit with Merlyn and Abbitha. Otherwise not much to report. Am trying to incorporate more writing about film into the blog – epiphany or outbreak of hubris? Only time will tell. Will conclude with a preview of this week’s upcoming posts as per usual:
Tuesday: The Casebook
Wednesday: Son of the Playlist
Thursday: The Greatest Irish Film of All Time
Friday: Miscellany
Saturday: Seeking the Light
Sunday: Home Again
