No Agua

 So the city decided today to continue their water main break work in the middle of a blizzard. No H2O for #TeamSlap for the next few hours.

Shoveling

I've shoveled twice today to keep pace with the storm. Once before school with the kids, and by my lonesome at noon. My hip is throbbing. Wanna take bets on how crippled I'll be tomorrow?

 I watched the pilot episode of Quantum Leap Friday, and it was better than I remember - and my memories of it were fond. I wonder if it would have done well today; it seems too laid back and nuanced to hold someone's attention in 2017.

20 Years

20 years ago today Biggie Smalls was murdered. RIP.

Also, damn I love The Who.

 Boxing trainer Lou Duva passed away at 94. RIP. 

While waiting with LuLu at a doctor's office today I approached a veteran wearing a hat from the USS Ticonderoga. I guessed his age at seventy and asked about his service in what I presumed was the Vietnam era. It turned out he was 90! and, at 17, was aboard her in 1944 and '45 as a machinist mate.

Me (shrugs): Is it our fault we're good at stuff?
