Chip's Quips
A tiny spark of wit for a highly flammable world

Snow day

Snow day

The first snow of the year here started yesterday morning and didn’t stop until sometime last night.

Schools closed. Snowman in progress.

I’d better sweep those steps before we feature Chip’s Slips. Followed by Chip’s Flips. And the shattering of Chip’s Hips.

UPDATE: it started snowing again this afternoon. Really coming down. Probably have the kids at home again tomorrow. Save me!

You know it, Chris. The 100-200 foot cedars and hemlocks usually form a dark green curtain. Now it is garlanded with white.

[...] Now that it’s December and snow is on the ground (still), I’d like to relate a true Christmas story (with apologies to my achristmasist readers) from when I was child that helped to shape the person that I am today. [...]

[...] Morning exercise. I did pretty well on my walks with Halley throughout the year until a few weeks ago. Then came the big snow storm, followed by the wind storm and the children’s winter break. When I don’t have to get the kids ready for school in the morning, it’s easy to rationalize sleeping in, and then suddenly I don’t have time for anything. Back to the regimen on Tuesday. [...]
