We have ice here. Lots of it. But it could have been much, much worse.

For those of you to the North of here: oh, my Goodness. Stay strong!

There's a certain irony, to me, in that many of the items the government urged people to buy when the terrorism alert went up----extra water, canned food, batteries, portable radios---are now, in the face of this Most Awful Blizzard In Years, probably coming in mighty handy. Here's some advice from my experience, back in the ice storm: instant cheese grits. All you need is boiling water and something to mix them up in, and they rock. Truly.

(You're welcome.)

In other news, last night I watched the 300 and 301st episodes of The Simpsons. I mean, respect must be paid. I can remember watching them on the Tracey Ullman show, a million years ago. when I was in high school and Fox was a new network. (Nostalgia alert: does anybody else remember Werewolf? 21 Jump Street? or Tracey Ullman, for that matter?) Who knew that all these years later they'd be such an institution. D'oh, indeed.

have a good day everyone!
