Someone emailed this to me today. I don’t know who to credit for the snow sculpture or the photograph, but they probably live in Ottawa.
I should have stayed home today. I had to take the bus both ways because the sidewalks hadn’t been plowed and the 28 centimeters of snow-mixed-with-ice-bullets was too deep and heavy […]

Things I learned today:
It is not easy for a cat to see a sweater being blocked without lying down on it, but it is possible.
Your brain can, without warning, temporarily flush all of its contents.
You will look like an idiot if this happens during a meeting.
