I work far, far away from everyone else in my building, and my office door has a “Storage” sign on it. It isn’t exactly a prime location most of the time. There have been a few days when I didn’t see anyone except for when I was walking into and out of the building. Sigh….
Snowy Monday, Snow Clips Tuesday
I’ve neglected you guys, and I’m sorry. Everybody needs their online distractions at regular intervals, right? In semi-valuable news, we got some of this in Virginia yesterday: It’s pretty, almost just like that picture. Add a bit of grime and some melting, and that’s it exactly.

I’ve lived in my…
Glamour and Wit
The day has gotten away from me, and I’m having a hard time putting together any coherent, bloggish thoughts (the wit). But wait, there’s sarcastic glamour, too.
