The Great Pennsylvanian Snowplow Strike of '08

Intense weather. Huge snow. All up in here. And you'd have thought they've never seen it before, the way they are NOT plowing the roads. I saw 3 plows this morning, but they were keeping the roads going the OTHER way nice and clear.

Cool. I do have a reverse commute.

But then the snow snow snow came down down down. All day day day. And it wouldn't appear they ever got around to plowing another darn road in all of Center County. I want to say "Dear Center County: Did you know that in some other places it snows too? And there, life goes on? And people get to work and to school just fine? It's not a miracle, it's called CIVIC PLANNING people. Go play SimCity for a day straight and I pet you'll do a better job. A few inches of precipitation need not bring a modern city to it's knees.

I'm still a little sick, but only in the evenings. I paint terribly slowly and watch the Heroes: Season 1 DVD set my friend loaned me. This is SO the way to watch a TV show. No pandering commercials, no cliffhanger hangs for very long. Awesome.

For a TV show, I like Heroes. It's worth watching (without the commercials). But I don't know yet how it ranks with the other superhero-theme stories I love so much. Is Season 2 on DVD yet?

Pupp Daddy Dog spends his days working as an entrepeneur and as a Dad. He is passionately in love with/obsessively neurotic about his family. Imagine Kicking Bird mixed with Albert Brooks. Oh, and throw in some Notorious B.I.G.

 

Alaska is the frustrated but caring cat at the center of our canine universe. All of us alternately worship, rely on and ceaselessly whine to her. Her need to control everything is confounded by the fact that she really pretty much does control everything, so in her few free moments, she knits and searches desperately for things to fuss about.

 

 

Max is smart and handsome, with a big heart. He is not only growing like a weed, but he has the attention span and concentration abilities of a weed. Despite my best efforts, AK keeps feeding him and he keeps growing. Our plan is to keep him so busy with school, sports & the arts that he won't notice he's a teenager and is supposed to hate us. T minus 2.5 years to teen launch, so far so good.

 

 

 Ben and Milo are phenomenal little creatures who remind us minute-by-minute not only how little control we have in this world, but why we should cease our controlling efforts and just laugh at all of God's jokes. Lately, Milo likes to dance and is good on the piano. Ben likes to mimic Max and enjoys manipulating adults and anyone else who has no idea how quietly brilliant he is. Both of them would love your full and complete attention. Really, stop reading silly blogs and join the fan club now. Ok? Ok.
