Very beautiful and calming. I haven&#8217;t been out in it though, been feeling sick. But I have watched it through our windows. And the little kid inside me is yelling loudly. &#8220;Go out and play in the snow, Plume! So what if your fingers freeze off and you get pneumonia and asteroids fall on your heads! It&#8217;s snow, all pretty and glistening and waiting for you&#8221;. My little kid isn&#8217;t the smartest kid in the world, but that&#8217;s okay. Who wants to grow up and be a smart adult? Where is the fun in that?<\/p>\n<p>Do you remember that cartoon with the snowman that comes alive and flies away with the boy? I used to watch it every christmas. I feel like watching it now. Or just&#8230; building a snowman.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s my brother&#8217;s birthday tomorrow. He&#8217;ll be 26. Gosh. I guess when I look at him I only see his inner kid. I made a present for him. An Elvis CD. Following on the success of the Willie Nelson CDs I made for my mother last year. Peter loves Elvis. I don&#8217;t know if he&#8217;s really into live music, but it&#8217;s an &#8220;official&#8221; bootleg so the quality is great. The artwork sucks, but that&#8217;s not my fault. That&#8217;s the fault of our ancient and barely-functioning printer. I hope he&#8217;ll like it. It&#8217;s the thought that counts though. Just making the effort and giving him something, that&#8217;s good. My mother complimented me on it tonight. We are not the closest family. At least I am not the closest family member. Every little thing counts.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I&#8217;ll go play in the snow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been snowing all day, pretty much. Very beautiful and calming.
