Snowbound

Beloit got 21" according to the National Weather folks, + I went in to find the courthouse closed for the first time since I've been here. It was fun to see so few cars on the road. But today it wasn't the1,000 cars stranded on I-90 but the sleeping drivers who jammed it for 19 miles northbound, southbound was flying. Laura went very well, but I'm quite happy to be done with it. There was a teenager in the play who is one of the few cryptic crossworders I know. He was ecstatic to get a ton of puzzles from me. I believe Em + James continue to enjoy theirs. Dom + I meet up in the Dells tomorrow for a church retreat, so I'm pigging out at on the whole hog sausage at the annual Turtle Township pancake breakfast early. Hopefully it will cause me to sleep on the bus. I'll be glad somebody else is driving in all this crap!
