Water Main work - in a blizzard
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.

Quantum Leap
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.

Adam Slapczynski
I'm not sure if this is a relative or not. His DOB puts him as a contemporary of my Great-Grandpa - maybe a brother or cousin? (more likely the latter as he shares a name with my Great-Great Grandpa, and is six years junior to my Great-Grandpa). From the web: Adam Slapczynski was born in 1888. He studied mathematics at the University of St. Petersburg. After the outbreak of the revolution he returned with his family to Polish, he taught mathematics in secondary schools. In 1923. He was a teacher in the Gymnasium. John Åšniadeckiego in Kielce. Already in 1939. Begins a secret teaching. He was arrested on July 9, 1941 r. After the auditions in Kielce prison, died in a railway carriage in a transport to Auschwitz on August 1, 1941.

Smiley's Party
It was a great birthday party this afternoon. Not bad for the 49th bday party we've thrown as parents. Two hours of fun for everyone, and a double dose of OTC pain meds kept the hip in check enough for me to participate (albeit not without pain). Pics, no doubt, to follow.

The Cat In the Hat Cheese
Today the school is celebrating Dr Seuss's birthday, and so Lisa decorated individual string cheeses as The Cat in the Hat. Junie was very happy to see them. "They're adorable!" she said.
