12.5.02 – Binghampton, NY

it’s a SNOW DAY! as much as i sat up late praying for the slightest skiff of snow to soften the hearts of school administrators as a kid, i have to say that snow days from work are even more gratifying (possibly because i still get paid?). last year in buffalo when it snowed seven feet the theatre closed down for three days, and hannah and i sat home watching the snow drifts gently blot out the lower part of our windows and cars turn into giant white volkswagon-shaped domes. there was so much snow that the city didn’t have anywhere left to plow it to, so the national guard had to come in with trucks and take it away.

this morning in harrisburg it’s only snowed an inch or so, but more is predicted for the afternoon and it was enough for all our schools to cancel. hotel toaster waffles for breakfast, a few emails to write, and i’m going back to bed on this lovely snowy morning.
