well I was hoping for a snow day at work today....since i work at a school...a university...but no such luck. i was a little late though. i'm the only one here; in the office, so it doesn't really matter that much. my boss is very cool anyway. these are the kind of days that i'm glad i live in a place that has 4 seasons. winters aren't that bad if you dress for it. i wear boots, hat, scarf, mitts, long johns, warm coats, and go for long walks. i love how the air is fresh this time of year. i need to go cross-country skiing again soon. it's amazing how warm you get doing a bit of exercise.
