  • Snow day!

    Late yesterday afternoon, it started to snow. This is sort of unusual where I live ~ the last healthy snowfall we got was in 2005, shortly after I moved into my apartment in Richmond. So when the weatherman was predicting five inches by Monday morning, I just laughed. What other [...]
