I’m Not Alone

It snowed so hard today that classes were canceled. This is especially weird given that it was +70°F on Saturday and will be +68°F on Sunday.

A colleague wrote a passionate email exhorting the professors to stop working and go outside.

“We will have to wait for 9-10 dreary months to see snow again,” he wrote. “Let’s not waste this beautiful, rare moment by staying inside and writing work emails!”

And here I thought I was all alone on this campus in my belief that a day without snow is a day wasted.

    So did anybody go outside and build a campus snowperson?

      I’m one of those unfortunates who can’t go outside to check. I’m still not very mobile. I walk around the house but walking outside is not a good idea for me.

    By the way, some of the video advertisements that run silently on your website are delightful — especially when they show human owners interacting caringly with their loving pets. Tell the cranks who complain about such ads to piss off.

    Affection between species — and even between humans, when it’s intermittently possible — is a treasure not to be tossed aside. 🙂
