ok, so i worked late last night- we hosted a discussion/study group- all men- who have existed as such since the 1850's. the group, anaconda, is not as mysterious as a fraternity or lodge, but they appear to have quirks, nevertheless. we knew that they would not cancel- despite the weather, as this group didn't cancel for the civil war.....the other group that didn't cancel was a carryout for 32- an office party AT the office in question- the food was to be there by 6 and by 7 they called and said that they were done- come get your stuff......some officeparty- 60 minutes of pure bliss.............they were surely worried about the weather. the 3rd group did cancel out- 48 driving from berea and parts beyond- i knew the moment the snow started falling that that party was off indefinitely. ah well.......5 more parties before i rest sleep all afternoon sunday...wait- the cross country banquet is sunday- no rest for the mean mamma.......
