A Few Random Thoughts

February 2nd, 2010

1) With yet another snowstorm having descended upon DC, I’m left wondering something.  I’ve heard Al Gore and his minions suggest that somehow, counterintuitively, the phenomenon of ‘global warming’ not only sends the temperatures higher, but also somehow makes cold winters colder.  The rationale being that the climate change lends itself to harsher conditions on both ends, with the lack of whatever we once had in the ozone layer leaving us without anything to regulate (like Warren G) temperatures.  So I wonder…could this be true?  If so, I’ll think about joining the fight as well.  Warmer temps don’t faze me, but colder conditions just aren’t my style.

2) I watched a few minutes of ‘Desperate Housewives’ with my parents recently (yes, both parents, as my Dad watches too), and it left me with just one conclusion.  While I’m sure that others of my parent’s generation see ‘Jersey Shore’ and other MTV programming as ‘what’s wrong with America today’, Desperate Housewives seems to me like it may be worse.  Trash is trash, and to say nothing of Jersey Shore, Desperate Housewives is as trashy as it gets.  I guess different generations spot trash differently, but I sure got an eyeful of it with my folks.

3) Finally, once again on the subject of snow…I’ll go to bed tonight with the curtains cracked open just wide enough to get a peak outside if and when I wake up in the middle of the night.  A trick I learned in high school when I wanted an early warning on if school might be cancelled, I’ll employ the same tactic tonight to sniff out the chances of a cancellation of work tomorrow.  I feel like I’m 16 again.

    There’s no snow in Massachusetts Bri… perhaps you should consider moving up here! I’ll do my “snowday dance” for you and hope you get a much deserved day off of work. Miss and love you.
