Roll call time?

Cabernet in my glass.

Peet's Pride of the Port Blend tea.

Ah, bummer Charlie! I'm wondering if we don't have a significant number of folks that might be directly in the path of that monster storm and are battening down the hatches or already engulfed

Having a long overdue second mug of tea while I build up the strength for more shoveling.

It seems like you have a never ending life of shoveling. Are you distantly related to Sisiphys? Maybe we need to start a crowd funding application for you to get a snow blower

Ah, driving down today, top down, shirtsleeves, sunglasses and a hat. Gotta love it. I can't believe it, but I sure know how to ENJOY IT.

And now, a brief moment of silence for our east coast friends who are getting HAMMERED as we speak. May you all survive it, and survive the power outages that are sure to be part of it. Be careful, be safe, and be warm. Or move west.

Yeah, KK, sorry about that. These quickie conference things are tricky that way. But we'll manage at some point.

Oh, yeah. In my glass - some generic Washington state Chardonnay. Not bad, actually.

Warm apple cider.

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring-ting-tingling too,
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you,
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling, "YOO HOO !",
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

Good morning, everyone! When God gives you lemons, make lemonade! So much snow? Go for a sleigh ride! Being upset over the snow isn't going to make it go away, so you might as well enjoy it. It really is a choice. When it floods here in Thailand, the locals just go fishing off their front porches while sipping a beer. That's a good attitude. After living 25 years in northern New England, with 8 months of winter and snow-covered roads, I finally learned to appreciate snow... just in time to move to Asia.

I'm sipping Ahmad's 'English Breakfast' tea, and getting ready to face the day here. Not much snow, but perhaps too much sun... Getting hot!

I think someone must have been listening when I resolved to do more exercise in the new year.

(Or maybe it's just the degree to which I complain?)

Actually, the total snowfall expected for our area has been revised downward ... but the winds will still be strong enough to blow the snow back. (It's a light, powdery snow, this time. Much nicer than the wet, heavy stuff! But I still don't like shoveling the same patch twice!)

CRussel · 01-27-2015, 11:01 AM

A glass of hotel "fresh squeezed" orange juice. Actually decent, though not as good as the stuff I squeeze every day.

Cold brewed lady grey tea. I am a recent convert to cold brewing and its light, clean taste.

cromag · 01-27-2015, 05:03 PM

First mug of tea.

tubemonkey · 01-27-2015, 05:28 PM

Water

Bilbo1967 · 01-27-2015, 05:49 PM

Talisker Storm.

cromag · 01-27-2015, 07:30 PM

Mug of tea #3.
