I think we’re all getting used to having these mid-week snow storms–a two-part big winter storm heading our way later today and all through tomorrow, apparently. Predictions as high as a foot and a half of accumulation? Geez. As S remarked the other day, we haven’t had a full week of school for this entire [...]
Ok, to all the naysayers who say that Facebook and other social networking sites don’t add to our lives? Here’s a ‘ha!’ retort right back at you. Thank you S.R.–who admittedly, is only a peripheral friend (of the FB kind, no?)–who posted this Huffington Post piece about the nor’easter that just blew through the East [...]
