i knew i was asking for trouble when i left the house wearing a brown belt and black boots (THE HORROR). i had the tiniest run in with a snow bank this morning. it wouldn't even be worth mentioning except that it was the snowbank on the opposite side of the road from which i was intending to travel. silly iced over roads. alas, the car and i are fine and some very nice folks in a very snazzy pick up truck helped me to dig out a bit. bless you kind truck driving folk! unfortunately i totally lost my nerve...twitch...shudder...and i didn't finish the drive home. which is why i am now currently in the bar harbor library using their internet and listening to someone play the piano (it's really quite lovely...i really should get tickets to that symphony concert in march...i'm not tickled about going alone and the only person i know who will admit to liking classical music is dennis (hi!) who doesn't seem very keen to go).
and to all that excitement i must add that our dear furry friend Mrs. Whatsit has gone on to the big happy habitrail in the sky. her plump furry roundness is no more, and it is very sad.
