I hadn&#8217;t been keeping up with the news and usually if there is any chance of solid precipitation coming, its impendingness is a major, major deal and everyone spends the entire night prior making milk-and-bread jokes. But nothing, not a peep. So I rose and out the window it looked like a freaking Thomas Kinkade Christmas card. In the best possible way. <\/p>\n<p>Tamara&#8217;s flight was on, then canceled, then back on, then delayed again. I drove her to the airport in between the flurry of delays, white-knuckled and crazed from too much orange juice and not enough sleep. I really hated to see her go; we had a lot more talking in us, but it&#8217;ll have to wait until next time. It&#8217;s kind of remarkable that I was up so early because I got to see the snow at its prettiest on the drive back. I took a road I&#8217;d never been down before to get to get home and ended up going through a part of town I didn&#8217;t even know existed that&#8217;s literally just a few blocks south of my house. Amazing how you can live in a place and have no idea what&#8217;s around you. <\/p>\n<p>Snow is a great equalizer, though. Even rundown shotguns with crap in the yard have a quiet dignity when covered in snow. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I woke up at 6 a.m. to get ready to take Tamara to the airport, and checked Twitter (a regrettable but sometimes useful ritual), only to see @mdinstuhl telling everyone to look outside.
