through a snow, darkly


What an odd weekend!


Just as I was getting ready to head to an after-work social gathering (partly in my honor), my boss arrived at my door to inform me that we needed to get a contract put together to be executed Monday morning. It was a bit disappointing to miss the gathering, but I get paid good money for producing this type of work.


A colleague and I worked on the project on Saturday and Sunday afternoon (after church). I also managed to miss the Christmas concert of the local concert band. I could afford to miss another version of the Little Drummer Boy.


And then it snowed. Not a lot of snow. Maybe four inches. By Dakota standards, it is nothing. By Willamette Valley standards, it is a blizzard. And it has brought everything to a standstill.


Of course, that means that no one will be available to execute the contract on Monday. But, at least, it will be done.


What I have missed most of all, though, is staying in contact with my blog contacts. I just spent an hour catching up. Now, I am off to bed.


Whether I will even be able to walk the mile to work tomorrow will be something I will find out then.


No snow in Melaque.
