The winter of our content...
First things first: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JENNIFER!!! We hope it is a good one and that Ed is feeling better. Sorry you couldn't fly to San Antonio, but we're pretty pleased that Ed is a cautious pilot. You know, I'd hate to put a hurtin' on him. (Think Collateral, Ed. "What do I think? I think you better tell your boy back there to holster his gun before I take it from him and..." well, you know the rest).
Margaret and I have had the greatest 24 hours in New Jersey. We are completley snowed in, and it is still coming down. Yesterday, before it got too bad, I ran to the grocery store to load up on all of the essentials such as Frito pie and orange cinnamon rolls. Last night we made a stew and watched The Village by M. Night Shymalan. It had gotten poor reviews, but we both really enjoyed it. Then we put in the three-hour odyssey, Troy, but I was gone within 10 minutes. I also made a trip to Best Buy to redeem my gift certificates from Christmas. The haul was unbelievable: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow (for Xbox), Out Run 2 (car racing game for Xbox), Modest Mouse's latest CD, and Lenny Kravitz's latest CD. So we ate Frito pie, made the occasional trip to the basement for laundry, took Calvin to the barn where he, um, (cough), took care of business, and came back in and raced a Ford GTO on Xbox while listening to "Lady" by Lenny Kravitz. What a great day!!! The picture to the right is of my Honda. I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon. Also, when I put Calvin on the ground, he disappears into the snow. He hasn't stayed still long enough to let me get a picture of that.
Well, I'm off to crank the space heater.

Your mom showed Maria the photo from yesterday's blog and she was fascinated with the amount of snow. Hope it lets up some time soon for you all. We can certainly empathize with you. Today it is 72 degrees for a high, no clouds and just a touch of wind. Very similar to what you're having, except that we can actually see the sun.
Love you three,
K&S
