Colder Than a Witch’s You-Know-What

I don’t need to say much about this photo, except perhaps that we by no means have the worst weather in the country. We escaped the storm which barreled up the east coast. Schools here were closed today and my sons in Virginia and Maryland reported that schools there were closed both yesterday and today. It was reason enough to stay inside and read, but we ran out to do a couple of errands, including a brief foray to the grocery store. Whoever designed the place had no sense of function (it must have been a man.) The cashiers’ stations are lined up right by the automatic doors into the parking lot and those doors were open all the time as people rushed in to stock up with necessities for the weekend. The poor cashiers were wearing coats and gloves. Weather conditions promise to be no better for a few days.

I am happy to announce that after a hiatus of six months during which he took a break and sang Gilbert and Sullivan, my son in law has brought back his blog with his reviews pf literature of all kinds. If you have never read a poem on Fried Bologna, you should check him out.
