Yay! Finals are finished. I just noticed that it's been two weeks since our last burst of posts, and its been getting too quite around here. The past two weeks have been filled with my preparation and completion of four exams and a paper. Kate has been trying to stay clear and cheer me on, with the special assistance of providing me with hot tea as I needed it during my study sessions. Many thanks to her for the little pleasures that make exams endurable.
For those of you that have not seen the news, our last little post about "snow" has just been blown out of the water by the current "snowpocalypse"/"snow-urricane" or blizzard hitting DC as I type. The snow has been so heavy that the Metro, or subway, has been shutdown in the above ground areas. As the press release stated, the snow is high enough to cover the electrified 3rd rail, or 8 inches for those counting at home. The prediction is for 1-2' for the weekend. Yes, I used the marker for feet, not inches. This morning I felt like I was living in a snow globe. After venturing forth into the snowy madness, Kate and I have concluded that we, in fact, live in a snow-cone machine.
Pictures will be forthcoming after the conclusion of the snowfall, and don't worry, I made a snow angel, and we threw our obligatory one snowball apiece. Our friend Marie made a snow-Vulcan out in VA, we hear, and she is working on a snowman.
Last night Kate and I took pictures of all three branches of government and their decorations (not surprisingly, the Supreme Court had nothing) for Christmas. On our way home, Kate and I saw the Grey Train! It was just as strange the second time.
For now, we continue to watch the snowfall out our large windows and we think of you all out there. Our recommendation is to try out the homemade marshmallows by either Alton Brown or the easier, but less tasty one from the food network magazine. Toss 'em in hot chocolate or do like we will later today, make s'mores.
'til next time,
-Pete
P.S. Weather channel says its 28 F but feels like 13 F.
