Frosty ice crystals on the bedroom storm window this morning.

I saw something exciting on my way out of work this evening…
The Sky!!!
In a color other than black.

I commuted by train today. Despite this being a quite minor storm, the Red Line still had problems; thus I spent a total of 5 hours commuting today.
Here’s the Quincy Center T station from our office:

Groundhog day! I did not see my shadow today… in fact, there was ocean-effect fog & clouds on the south shore this morning as I approached Quincy. And despite the lengthening days, it was dark already as I left work. After a long day, I am glad to see the following sight:
Who needs a Stairway to Heaven? I’ve got an elevator down to the first floor, the car, and home.

Well, I made it one whole month with Project 365! I can’t say every picture is as interesting or as artistic as I might have hoped, but each day has a photo taken on that day. Let’s see if I can keep it up.
Today’s photo is about house-hunting. Some houses deserve to have stone lions along the walkway. They are grand homes, the type of country place where you’d visit a wealthy uncle for a week and have your own room with a fireplace, and the staff would wake you at 10 for breakfast.
The house where we saw this lion (and its partner) was not such a house. It is a nice house, lovingly modified and decorated by someone whose priorities are quite different from our own. But it does not deserve a lion.

Because we had some house showings yesterday, the porch was open and warm. Parker and I took the opportunity to do some quality relaxing by the “fire.”

I stayed late at work tonight because my traffic report told me I could either sit at my desk, or sit in traffic.
Guess I’ll need gas again soon too.

Côtes du Rhône. Pretty tasty.
Some Frenchman would have a fit if he knew I had it with good old American chicken & dumplings last night, and Italian-ish pasta w/ red sauce & sausage tonight.

Guess what??
It’s snowing. Again. At this point I kinda wish it would stay up in ski country. Those chairs are normal height, not sunken into the ground or anything, and that snow is not especially deep in comparison to the surroundings. It’s pretty, but we are running out of places to put it.

I got one of the good parking spaces today. We have 6 assigned spaces on the first floor of the garage. If I’m early enough, I get one; if not, I get to drive up to the 3rd or 4th floors. Not a big deal, but helpful at the end of a day as action-packed as today was for me.
