Tuesday, February 8, 2011

Before we had all the excitement of the Superbowl, we had all the excitement of the blizzard – about a foot and a half of snow that fell on the night of February 1, with high winds and drifting. It was a Tuesday, and we knew pretty much everything was going to be closed on […]
