Snow? Is that effing snow?
Last night, I wrote an essay answering a question that Chris posed to me. It's part of our ongoing discussion of the role of reason and mysticism in faith. I finished the essay, and then took a couple of quick run-throughs to hone it a bit. The screen froze. Had to restart. Lost everything.
This morning, I got up early and re-wrote the essay. Entirely. Again, I was finished. And again, just as I was about to publish, the screen froze. I lose everything. Again.
Then after a few choice words, I went outside to go to work. And it's snowing.
Not an auspicious start to the day ... the world needs to start today over. Did anyone save yesterday? Let's just revert to saved.

Snow? Get used to it, city boy! And don't count on a plow truck coming along to clear the snow off the roads leading to your secret mountaintop hideaway!
Snow in the Poconos? Never heard of such a thing. Maybe I'll just move to Costa Rica.
Missed you last weekend, Harry. I'll have to catch you next time.
