Updates on Snow and Others

[dlgood]

Am plagued by great sadness as my Washington Capitals saw the Franchise Record 14-game win streak come to an end with a 6-5 (OT) Loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Was bound to happen, but still sad.

Also, have completed yet more snow clearance. Yesterday's storm brought about 8 more inches, not itself too bad - but the high winds blew all the snow off the Row Houses across the street and deposited enormous snow drifts on my property. After much work, I'm dug out again. Also knocked a bunch of those deadly looking icicles off my roof - though sadly, the winds left my snow up there still.

In other news, in a fit of nostalgia... my neighbor from childhood was visiting his parents with his daughter - and built a slide on our lawn... as we once did as children, oh so many years ago. My parents took pictures out the window. It's nice to see (by proxy) another generation of children hurtling down those old slopes.

Awww- how sweet. And wow, that's a lotta snow :-) :-( over the Capitals- we've been watching them because otherwise we'd have shot ourselves long ago over the state of the Tampa Lightning.

It is a ton of snow.

And yeah - it's been a lot bigger to watch the Caps here with Ovechkin and the team being so awesome.

I will admit to feeling a bit of patriotic pride at the Canadiens kicking ass :D

Just as a heads-up, I'm about to shoot you an email to ask a favour, if you have time.

Weirdly for me, because of Ovechkin, I find myself in the very bizarre position of rooting for Russia's Hockey team. I never root for Russia in anything.
