weird November

Yeah, we got some white stuff on the ground.  The first snow is usually a wimpy 1/2 inch or thereabouts, so we had to scramble to find snow gear for everybody on Saturday.  I guess it's prettier to look at than dead brown earth.  It almost legitimizes the Christmas music our silly lite FM radio station is playing already.  Almost, but not quite.  Wait till after Thanksgiving, you goofs.  And keep playing it for at least a week after Christmas Day.  It's also the height of stupidity when mall decorations go up as early as October and come down the second Christmas actually arrives.  Anyway, I digress.  The first big snow calls for pictures of the kids frolicking merrily. 

Mmm, hot chocolate.  Hello comfort food season.
