gerisullivan...something on the order of 22.3 inches of snow has fallen on Toad Woods since I pulled out of the driveway last Monday. It's likely to be a couple of inches more than that rather than a couple of inches less.
I suppose I should be glad that I'm not there, but as I told several friends today, if I were home, I'd just stay there. Having just a few days in Minneapolis, I keep filling them with places and people that draw me away from the warm comfort of Casa Dinh and outside through the brutal cold and snow-packed, iced streets.
This morning, I had dim sum with five friends. Yum. After an utterly peaceful afternoon talking and working at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lsanderson's, I headed over to Chez Levy Haskell for the first night of Chanukah. Then the Christmas carol party at Dreampark, where I had the pleasant surprise of finding both retooned and James Maxwell Young, (of the Minneapolis Youngs). fmsv and cowfan were there; I was especially glad to see them since I'd missed the Minn-stf meeting they hosted yesterday.
Lots of other friends were there, too, including some who are on LiveJournal. There were lots of other people I didn't know, but who energetically sang along, adding to the night's festivities. The best discovery of the night was that the "other kids" who knock down the snowman in "Winter Wonderland" have been transformed into alligators in at least one rendition out there running around on the net and in recording studios.
Great party,dreamshark! My thanks to you and Richard, and to all who added to the fun of the evening.
I'm calling it an early night in the hope of being at least somewhat reasonably rested if I head out Tuesday as planned. I've gotta tell you, I'm more than a little tempted to drive much further south than the roads home will take me. It's not snowing in Key West, is it?
