| The Joy of Drinking Milk Straight from the Cereal Bowl |
We’ve got the Nor’easter reaction
pretty much down to a drill around Worcester after three major snow storms in
as many weeks. We were told to expect 8-12 inches of snow which seemed like a
minor inconvenience compared to some of the earlier efforts. The weather prognosticators
struggled all day to explain why we weren’t getting any snow but promised overnight
we would get smoked. I awoke this morning to find barely two inches on the ground
which doesn’t even qualify as an inconvenience. I'm not upset, we've more than earned our winter merit badge over the past month.
My daughter, Wingman, and the FBR were
not so lucky down in New Jersey where the snow we were scheduled to receive did
arrive. You’ll see from the video that the FBR is a big fan of the white stuff
which means the gringo blood may be finally taking hold after the thin tropical
blood of my Favorite Panamanian kept both herself and my daughter assiduously
out of the cold. We’ll just have to cure the FBR of making her grandfather an immediate
snowball target as soon as we’re out together. My snowball dodging days are
rapidly coming to a close. We had a fun talk last night where we did some
intense planning for my weekend visit. I believe I committed to a watching of
Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer with her.

| BRS Ready for Action |
I had less success with my Favorite
Son. He was kept a little late at work and promised to call me when he got
home. That call never happened. It’s almost as if having a one month old baby
in the house can be distracting. As you can see from these pictures the BRS is
well armed to serve as some serious attention competition. I can completely
understand how more important tasks intervened. She seems to grow more each
day. I had Keene Friend bunking at the house last night in anticipation of our
missing storm and we had some quality Man Cave time with silly horror shows and
superhero movies.

| Mom and Dad were Busy |
My wife celebrated her sister in law’s
birthday last night and had a very good time. If I know the sister in law at
all I’m can state with certitude that some of the conversation was fairly
ribald and involved my wife’s geographic distance from me. My wife apologized
for “having” to travel to our condo today. Facebook daily sends me the weather
report for Las Lajas. The forecast today shows a high of 95° and a low of 75°.
There is a chance of cloudy skies later today so she’ll have that to contend
with.
