A White Pre-Christmas

Sunday night it snowed about 3 inches around here, which of course meant that my Monday morning commute would be a disaster. It only took me 40 minutes to make my usual 15 minute trek, so that wasn't as bad as it could have been. I am, however, enjoying the quattro all wheel drive, electronic slip protection, and ABS breaks for the first time. If you thought I had flagrant disregard for icy roads before, you should see me now.

I don't want to jinx anything, but I may be finally selling my old Pontiac. I slapped a For-Sale sign on it Sunday morning, and by that evening I already had a call. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

This holiday has me staying put on the island. There are plenty of people here that have invited me to dinner and drinks and everything that I'm well taken care of, not that you'd be worrying anyway. I'm actually going to be working a lot of the time, then my sister is coming to visit over New Years. I am arguing against standing in Times Square for hours on New Years Eve. I think a trendy bar in SoHo or the village and then watching fireworks from the Brooklyn Bridge sounds much more fun. A lot depends on how cold/cool it is, because if it's not frigid outside there will be some craziness in Greenwich village for sure.

Any-hoo... Hope everyone who's travelling this week arrives safe and sound, and I hope your heat works better than mine does.
