2.4.2011

remember that feeling when you woke up early without an alarm
just to listen to the school closings in alphabetical order on your
bedside am/fm clock radio....
times have changed.
now we get a computerized phone call, an email and i'm sure
a hundred facebook comments.
but its still the same feeling when you hear those
two magic words -
snow day!

 the snow arrived overnight
& shut the city down.
yes, you can still see the grass poking through the dusting.
yes, it was all melted by 12 noon.
yes, snow day usually means 36 inches where we come from.
but this is austin y'all.
same white fluffy snow.
same white snowball packing snow.
same bone chilling sparkle powder.
same dancing around by three boys when they heard the news.
just a whole different perspective!
heres to the snow day that lies ahead.
