We’ve had a very white week. Which, technically, we always have, because as you may have guessed, we are of the caucasian. Also, lots of snow, especially last night. We woke up to more than a foot of snow on the ground, two or more feet in the driveways where the plows have moved it.

This year, several neighbors have health stuff going on and the snow thrower is kicking major ass in the neighborly department. I’m very happy that I have the right tool for the job, because I can’t even imagine moving all the snow from my own walks and drive, much less the neighbors without the beasty snow thrower. I spent two hours moving snow. We’ve only seen a couple of snow plow passes, which means I’ll likely have to go out and hit the driveway(s) again.

Hope your holidays are being fantastic. Mine have been wonderful. For the first time in years, I feel pretty healthy and not stricken with a cold or flu or the blues. Yay, chemistry! o

The Dark Times are upon us. This year, I’m less apprehensive about winter. I’ve got a great machine to remove snow and Coco is improving ever so slightly. She doesn’t pee randomly and we mostly get a quiet night of sleep. It’s hilarious to see her bound through the snow like a kangaroo, hopping above the surface with a giddiness that makes me smile.

I’m not sure if I’ll be posting any more this week, so if I don’t, take this as a Happy Holidays, Happy C/Hanukkah, or Happy Whatever you celebrate or don’t celebrate. o

Or look so constipated. I was a wee bit nervous. The ladies of the Momversation have been kicking ass with this project. The people at Momversation asked the husbands (me, Brian, Hal and Mark to do a video about what it’s like to have a wife who publishes online and some of the issues that arise. Surprisingly, we did not talk about bowel movements, erections or sports:

We need to do more group. Thanks, guys!

Be gentle, dear internet. o

I blew out the colors on this one and it almost looks like the snow is just heavy leaves. Trust me. It’s snow.

This was taken from a car while the car was moving. I laid the camera on the dash and drove slowly. This was the coolest of that batch of half dozen shots. o

Taken last week when winter began in earnest. Earnest Goes to Winter? Jim Varney, RIP. o

I’d call this Paper Lanterns, but they are electric lights. o

Had to call it just now. None of those windows and tabs were things I was looking at for personal reasons. They were all related to work.

I’ll start posting photos more regularly soon. Maybe.

Lamest blog post ever. o

Second shot from the air of the thick and flight-delaying fog. I did a bit of color tweak on this one.

Some people didn’t mind the fog in SF. I always did. Especially in the summer. There is no summer in SF. There is a really nice delayed summer in late September and Octoboer, but it’s not as long or as consistent as the summers in other locales.

The idea of grilling in San Francisco in summer means something entirely different than it does in climates where grilling means shorts, flip flops and cold beer. In San Francisco, grilling out means a parka, shivering and running back inside with the cooking implements to keep the roaming bitchy hipsters from hurting themselves. o

Took this on the very delayed flight in to SFO. I also shot some time lapse (photo taken every second and saved out as a movie) in flight and posted it to flickr. You can see the crazy fog in motion here.

I’ve got another one that I’ll share tomorrow. o

This guy is another of the bears around Garden City, Utah. This one’s a little more skeptical than the last. This guy might be a this gal. Time will tell. It always does. o
