"If You Could Get Me a Drink of Water, 'Cause My Lips are Chapped and Faded"

Today was quite interesting (and extraordinarily life-changing, but that is another story!). I have new glasses - really! - after wearing my old, scratched-up frames for the last four years. The new frames are a much looser fit on my big head, which means they fit much better than either of my first two pairs of glasses. The design is not anything radical for me, but I still like the new look.

Thanks to a woefully-wrong weather forecast, we received about three times as much snow as we were expecting in the area. What was supposed to be two inches of accumulation was actually more like six or seven at my parents' house by 6:00pm. My family and I enjoyed the weather by (treacherously) heading to Side Cut Metropark to sled. The hill was crowded and the snow not good for sledding (too powdery yet), so after a couple of slow runs down the hill we walked instead. To be short, the walk was amazing: a foot of snow already blanketed the ground, but we walked about a winter wonderland as fat, white snowflakes filled the forest around us and dozens of deer hopped among us. On the downside, it was an extremely tiring walk.

I am spending tonight inside (my clothes are soaked and dirty anyhow until I do laundry). On the agenda: making final tweaks to my latest web project, Recipe Manager, and re-working some of my BrandonBruno.com portal.

A fantastic day with the family - these are the days I will no longer be taking for granted.

B3 out.
