sometimes discretion isn't the better part of valor

We got about 7 inches of snow total. Heaviest snowfall in I can't remember how many years. It was sleeting most of the day today which kept the total accumulation down.

We had a quiet day here. We watched movies -- Road to Utopia, It Should Happen to You and The Mummy 3 -- I worked on the Pat Robertson voodoo doll and we cooked -- buttermilk biscuits for a late breakfast, and corned beef hash for dinner. We made our own corned beef, which I had never done before. It was really easy and turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. I only stepped outside the house twice, to scatter bird seed on the snow. The birds loved it. We had crowds of juncos and wrens hopping around.

I am planning to go in to the station for my show tomorrow. We live on a busy road and I'm hoping the plows will come through before I have to leave. If not, I have driven on snow before, though it's been a long time. I think I can remember the basics: drive slowly, turn slowly, brake slowly. The only part of the drive I'm worried about is entrance to the station parking lot. It's a steep incline that I'd rather not have to deal with. I was thinking about driving to Whole Foods, parking in their lot and walking the rest of the way. Then I remembered, duh, I have three giant cases of CDs to take with me. I usually carry them in two trips. No way could I get all of them across campus in heavy snow when it's 20° out. I guess I could leave the heaviest case behind and just take the other two. That would make the show kind of suck but it would be easier to get there. Dang. Now I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

Sounds like it's time to rip all those CDs to a hard drive and carry it in your pocket :-).
