Snow day.

I'm working from home today, thank goodness. After spending an accumulated 4 hours in a car yesterday and then another 1.5 hours trying to find parking—all during a blizzard that resulted in frequent whiteouts and every single street being covered in snow whether it be interstate or Chicago side street—and then another 2 hours this morning digging out and returning said car and shoveling our walk—all before 9 a.m.—the idea of then trudging a mile to the train over sidewalks with 16 inches of snow and then waiting for trains and buses that were all running late and at capacity .... well, let's just say I really appreciate the 9-to-5 allowing folks to work from home at times like this.
