Welcome back, Restless_Heart!!! How's your writing going? I hope it comes out good.
Ha ha ha... Yes, let's us praying for the Pats. Go Pats!!!
(I heard that Matt Cassel is back and play this Sunday... or he already did return there last Sunday after his father's death. I lost to keep tracks because I don't watch TV that much because of my odd jobs but I check Sports once in a while on the internet before I leave for work. I am sorry to hear Matt's father's loss and that I hope Matt is OK.)
Yes, I can't imagine that my friend said he and his family were without heat and power for a week but he said that they have a fireplace and gas stove to keep them warm, which helps.
Oh, no... I am sorry that you have to go through with this kind of weather. Snow with sleet. Yes, it is not good because the snow with sleet is more heaver than snow and also, it can hurt your back. I was thinking of hiring a teenager boy to shovel for me. He did for my neighbors around my block.
Oh, no.. you have to go to work tomorrow. I am sorry to hear that. Yeah, I heard the same thing. No fun.. Yuck.. Here's my weather report: Heavy Snow/Wind Snow Showers Snow/Wind Few Snow Showers/Wind Partly Cloudy Extended Forecast

Your son never saw a blizzard in his life. Not even snow (or not much snow) in your area? I remember the blizzard of '78 was the worse here because the snow was all over my car and I was not able to find my car.
