Snow day, etc

Note: I am signed up for Holidailies, so you'll see regular updates from me starting Monday. (Hmm, I'm actually going to Dallas Monday - guess I'll just have to get it done before I leave!)

I just noticed that the Wall Street Journal is still keeping up their Holiday Sales Blog - which should be public, I don't think you need a log-in for their blogs. I just got a notice the other day that my WSJ subscription is expiring soon, and I don't think I'll be renewing unless they lower the price ridiculously again like they've done in the past. I think I saw somewhere that Murdoch is saying none of his online content needs to be free. In which case, bye-bye WSJ. They have the occasional really great article but I think I can live without it easily, on the whole.

So... if you read Twitter, you already know that it snowed in Houston today! Hey, it's big news for us. This actually makes 3 times in the last 5 years that it's snowed - it snowed about this time last year, and then there was that time it snowed at Christmas - which I think was in 2004, actually, so that was almost five years ago now. Anyway, today it snowed almost all day, on and off. It was trying to stick to the ground in the morning, but then it switched over and rained for a while and that ended that. But I could watch it come down for a long time before I got tired of it. I've lived in Texas all my life, remember - I haven't seen all that much snow. Even counting skiing and visits up north and such, it's still not enough to get me over that. I realize that if I moved up north I would probably get over it really fast, but well, I'm not. It's a lot more fun when it's a rarity!

(Ooh, look! Matching icon! I forgot I had that one.)
