We have snow. Here’s the view of the backyard as seen from the laundry room.
It’s still coming down, and our street hasn’t been plowed yet. I’ll fire up the snow thrower in a while.

Last minute dinner invite
Had a great surprise tonight. Joe Sinnott’s son Mark called Denro to say he was in town with his wife Belinda and their daughter Erin, who’s attending college in Boston. Erin is a writer, who already has two published novels to her name, with a third in the works right now.
We all met up downtown and went out to dinner. I love talking comics and music, but I have to take a backseat to Mark and Dennis when they get going on sports. My sport is running, and being not far from the Boston Marathon finish line this evening, I’m wavering on my decision to give up 26.2-mile road races.
Mmmm….
… fruitcake for breakfast! (Thanks, Samjay.)
DeLorean deal
The Super Mega Fest is happening this weekend in Framingham, MA. Out front is a DeLorean from Back to the Future. For a twenty buck donation to the Michael J. Fox foundation, you can sit in the car and get a Flux Capacitor pin. There isn’t enough space in the parking lot to get up to 88 mph and activate the Flux Capacitor. 😉

Pratt extracts bat
Over four years ago I put up a bat house in our back yard…
… but did any bats move in? Nope. I thought it might be due to the disease that’s decimating the bat population around here, but then, while cleaning out the gutters, I found a bat.
A dead one. Not due to the disease, but trapped as it tried to escape from behind a bedroom window shutter. I loosened the shutter, pulled out the unfortunate winged mammal, and tossed it into the woods.
