XLII (42) Snow Day

It happened. NYC got the big storm we’ve been waiting for for the past several years, we have probably several feet of snow. At least in our Bushwick backyard. The pandemic is the perfect time for a snow storm, we are used to the everything kind of being on pause anyway.

Today, I spent a lot of time on screens. Most of the day. It’s a blessing to have these little portals to the world available to us at all times, but too much time in the virtual world really takes it out of me. My wife invited me on a walk in between my final meetings of the evening, and I almost said no, before realizing that I needed the fresh air. While the dogs enjoy the access we have to our backyard, they appreciated the walk too.

When we realized how much snow was accumulating this morning, I was able to convince my wife to stay home for the day. Here’s to hoping you and yours are cozy and warm this week. And if you find yourself on a lot of screens, bundle up, take a few minutes aside, and experience this winter wonderland. And if you’re one of my friends who currently lives near a beach in a warm climate like Miami, or Corpus Christi… you know who you are… enjoy it, it enjoy it for all of us who are in the cold North.
