Last night when I came home from work there was a lot of ice on the driveway. I told myself to get up early today to put out some rock salt before Jen, my love, left for work. Imagine my surprise when there was an inch or so of snow. I was like… really? You are such an asshole, mother nature.

Bought the car in June 2011 and hit 90,000 miles as I pulled into the driveway.
We Know What Ceres Looks Like
Finally, we can say that we know what the Dwarf Planet Ceres looks like! No longer are we only able to view blurry images from Hubble. Now we can see a clear enough image to actually make out surface features!
Click on the image to read the article from which I stole the pic (sorry about that). This is cool. The Dawn probe will be orbiting Ceres in March, and doing actual research in April How fricken cool is that!?
Depressed Deer
There are seven deer in the woods right now. The snow is so deep it comes up to their belly. Their legs are completely buried. They trudge along for a few steps, then stop for a breather. They are all looking kind of depressed, like they are thinking… Enough of this crap.
I hear you, deer. I hear you.
Another Fun Task
If I were to list off the things I’d least like to do on a Monday day off with six feet of snow outside and temperatures in the negatives, I think shop vac’ing up a flooded basement after the washing machine’s outflow popped out of the drain pipe would be very high on the list.
Yup, that was a big part of my morning.
Yippee.
Not Today
I was thinking of going out and running some errands on this Presidents Day holiday.
Nope, not today.
Savior
I shoveled most of the driveway before dinner. I left the hellish mountain of snowbank for after dinner. When I went out the second time the temperature was about -247 degrees. I started digging and it sucked. Then out of the blue a plow came and offered to clean out what was left. I offered him money and he said no. Can you believe that? The door of the truck said C & J and I think it was out of Salem.
Our savior.
Valentines Day
Am I that guy who used to scoff at Valentines Day and say it was nothing but a drug store holiday designed to sell mass quantities of greeting cards and who actively, enthusiastically even, used to participate in Anti-Valentines day parties that included bowling and mountains of pizza and snickering at the loser couples all around us?
Yes, I am that guy.
Do I still feel that way?
Hells no! I love Valentines Day now! It’s all Jennifer’s fault. You know the story, cynical boy meets perfect girl and suddenly his entire outlook on life changes drastically. That’s me too. Objectively I know that I don’t need a “holiday” to express to Jennifer how much I love her. I know that. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to use the day as an excuse to go over the top and lay it on as thick as I can. Why not? I am head over heels, completely off my rocker, nuts in love with her. Why wouldn’t I take advantage of the situation, even if it is just a drug store holiday?
Happy Valentines Day to the love of my life, Jennifer. Every single aspect of life is infinitely better now that I’m with you. I love you!

Theory of Everything
My beloved wife and I just watched The Theory of Everything. I hated it. Just like I hated the Pixar movie, Up.
Stupid movie making me cry. Stupid beautiful amazing perfect movie.
