Gratuitous Non-Commuter Observation

Well, the Storm of the Century of the Week whiffed here in Dee Cee, with just a smattering of ice here and there.

I had mentioned the possibility of a snow day to the Missus yesterday. By the way her eyes lit up, I realized then and there that I had probably said too much.

In fact, Fairfax County schools are on a two hour delay this morning, but St. Marie of the Blessed Educational Method only follows the public school schedule when it feels like it. No cancellation today, no delay.

Now as it happens, I'm off today anyhow - a perk of guv'mint employment deeply (though unacknowledgedly) resented by the Missus. As she trudged off this morning she gave me that look of Wifely Logic which said that somehow the fact that it didn't snow last night was All My Fault.

Well...to be honest, Husband gets every other Monday off with his compressed schedule.
