Waiting

For up to twelve inches of snow.

There are a couple of things that make me feel like seven-year-old me all over again. Waiting -- and hoping -- for a snow day is one of them.

Yes, we get the occasional snow day here in the big town. Not because we can't get around (I've seen the subway shut down more often for rain than for snow), but because so many people who commute into town from points far-flung can't get around. Anyway, I bet they're all crossing their fingers for a day off tomorrow. Given all the bad news these past few weeks, I think we all deserve it.
