Planet Mad

It's snowing out there beyond my window, and at last some of it is settling. There's possibly three quarters of an inch covering the ground. Some of the girls form the House are running down the road, giggling with excitement. They're grabbing handfuls of loose snow and - without even bothering to make snowballs - are throwing it at each other.

I wish I were out there, instead of glued to this computer, researching data on the housing market and the national economy. Pah.
