Oh, everybody.  I’m wondering if we’ll be able or willing to hang out and eat dinner tonight.  it’s snowy out there, which you may have noticed.  You may have even been awakened at an ungodly hour by howling winds and clattering ice drops hitting your bedroom window, as I was.  Glad to be at work?  Not necessarily.  Cranky?  Perhaps.  Hungry?  Always.  We shall have to keep tabs on the day and see where it takes us.

Oh, weather. Why do you suck?

Submitted by wizzybit on Fri, 12/19/2008 - 11:09am.

I’m not sure I’d call it a blizzard. (Actually, I looked it up, because I’m a nerd. I think this doesn’t qualify because the temperatures are too high.) It seems more like a stupid sleet storm. But yeah, I don’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable about getting there, but I still think it’d be nice. Empty restaurants! Super-slow speed trolly rides! Beers! I’m willing.

A certain smart ass of my very close acquaintance has been emailing suggestions for tonight like “Aries in Plainwell!”

“Bud’s in Schoolcraft!”

“Su Casa in Fennville”

Our agency is CLOSED

Our agency is CLOSED today.  This is a fairly rare occurrence. 

I do think we should try for dinner, maybe somewhere downtown.  Maybe those of us with AWD vehicles could help out…

The etymology is good.

The etymology is good.  (Thanks wizzybit!)  We just got done shoveling the driveway… heavy snow, but pretty.

Tiz just a flurry.

I will be shooveling, so I may change my attitude.

My car has magic traction and anti-skid breaks, so I know it can make it. If my dear reads this, I’ll try to park somewhere on the street (a danger due to others’ inability to drive in this stuff) so we can use my American-made oldmanmobile.

I’m better from the sickness, so eating and drinking and holly jollying sound swell.

Holden's Magical Shovel

Submitted by Nathan on Fri, 12/19/2008 - 1:36pm.

Holden had us all shoveled out by 11:30 AM. All the little paths and sidewalks and driveway and porches. Love that boy. I am now owing Mr. Muscles some caysh.

Angie and I will be at the OP today from about 3 PM until close, so if you wanna eat there, we’ll make some arrangements.

FREE DAY!

This is the first time that year-round employees like me have ever had a snow day off, since I’ve worked in the public schools. It’s super awesome. Super duper awesome.

So, if not OP, then maybe we could go to that Spanish restaurant in Valparaiso. I’ve always wanted to go there.

I’m taking the motherf*cking city bus, y’all. It runs until 10 or 11 PM.

School's out for WEEKS!!1!

Submitted by Angie on Fri, 12/19/2008 - 1:49pm.
Snow day on the last day of school before Christmas Break? Obama, is that you?

We didn’t get out of bed until the most-senior of our offspring came upstairs to ask us what’s for lunch — after he’d shoveled our walks and drive. When life gives you lemonade, you’d better not let it go to waste! I don’t want to lose my unproductive edge by even so much as contemplating cooking dinner tonight, so I’ll have Dadmin put the snow tires on my Rascal and plan to roll at you to-nite!

I am totally down with OPP.  I suspect it’ll be mighty quiet and table-able tonight.  Yessir!  We’ll see if I bother to dig out and go home first or just walk across the street and wait for my mister there…..

Yeah, OP!

Submitted by wizzybit on Fri, 12/19/2008 - 2:24pm.

I’m betting Richard is napping right now, so I wouldn’t wait for his approval. I said I’d work until 4 p.m., but I could also walk there very easily. I could even go “early”.

but I imagine we will be hibernating this evening, we are still in our “jammies” even.  Kapn has to work until 6:00+ tonight.   Someone have the pot roast for me, Dingey, I’m looking at you!  Oh, and while you’re at it, how about some of that brewpub dip, too

Would love to see you groovy

Submitted by Samantha Stephens on Fri, 12/19/2008 - 4:54pm.
Would love to see you groovy cats and kittens but I am going to have to sit this one out.  Now that the semester is over and I am off my gig for four weeks, I finally have some time on my hands.  Anyhow I have loads of CD’s to make for the holiday so I have to sit this one out and make music.

Have fun all you swingers.


P.S.  If there are any shinding(gatherings for you non 1960’s folks) count me in.  I may be persuaded to leave my pad for a brief spell.
