It’s around 10:00 p.m. and it’s been snowing for at least 3 hours now. I would normally be reveling in how beautiful a blanket of white snow makes my “up & coming” neighborhood, but tonight I am a bit terrified that it will keep snowing despite what he says about it stopping “roughly” around 10 pm or so.

You see, I really love my teen-aged daughter but we have just spent the last 2 1/2 weeks together because of Snowmaggedon. This means that our threshold for being around each other is very, very, very low. In addition, since she mysteriously broke her Macbook, she has proceeded to interrupt me every 30 minutes just so she can check her Myspace and Facebook pages.  I can’t get any work done. I want to hide in my room.

So tonight, I am pleading with you to make it start raining and wash away all this snow business.

Most Sincerely,

Bacon Is Your Best Friend
