ky blizzard '08


don't be shocked when it snows a foot in march. i'm telling you, if you want freedom and happiness, live your march life understanding that if it's going to snow a foot in the ohio valley, it's going to happen in march. hold onto the promise that flip-flop season is coming and surrender to winter's last gift. embrace it, eat it, make it into snowballs and throw it at people. 
the boys were geeked (adult boys included.) this was the kind of snow you could swim in...

  
we in the 700 block are good. we're good at watching teenagers in the alley break the law... or laws of physics. we're good at watching our kids bug the newlyweds. we're good at incorporating delicious alcoholic beverages into every community event. and, emphatically, we will call 911 on your ass so fast, your head will spin. 

saturday we discovered we're very good at snow. the kramers and the johnsons joined us for some sledding, tunneling and the first annual watch-dad-relive-his-youth amateur snowball fight. 

the newlyweds are born and raised michigan folks, so they talk a "big snow talk." nowhere to be found, davidrussell and mr. drew chucked snowballs at their newlywed doors and windows. it took a good 15 minutes before anyone even came to the door. newlywed neil said something about "working on a house project." is that what you kids are calling it these days? put some clothes on, for the love.

anyway, weather is a miracle. i love it.
here's some more pics... 



you want some, mr. drew?! YOU WANT SOME?
