First Day of Winter

It's the first day of winter. Somehow it looks a lot like the last four weeks of fall. Here are some pics from the neighborhood:

First Snow

Friday morning, November 21st I woke up to our first real big snow of the season. We'd already had several smaller snows. Nothing compares to the first really good snowfall though.





Of course, now that it's been a couple of weeks of repeated dumpings like this, the novelty is wearing thin. By the time Christmas is past us, I'll be ready for the snow to go away altogether. But, like an unwelcome guest the snow will hang around until early April.

I voted!



I voted for my picks for the 2009 NHL All Star Game. Have you? Go here to vote: http://fanballoting.nhl.com/vote.

What? I thought this was a joke at first. What happened to failure being the best teacher? We are becoming a nation of lazy, do-nothings that expect to be bailed out at the first hint of trouble. Sheesh.
