• Yesterday was beautiful. Sunshine. Blue skies. (Relatively) warm. The sunshine was so warm, in fact, that for the few hours when the sun hits my front door I actually opened the storm window on the storm door and cracked the wooden door a few inches to get some fresh, January air circulating.

  In the late afternoon it started to get cloudy. By 7pm or so, I could hear rumbles of thunder (thunder! In January!!). The VIM called to ask me what the weather was like here, because it was hellish where he was (20 minutes away from me.) I opened the door and looked out. Perfectly calm. I no sooner got the door closed when I heard the wind moving in. I looked out the window. There was nothing, then suddenly, everything all at once. Calm, then wind, thunder, lightning, snow, rain, sleet. I have never seen anything like it. I mean, I like weather, but not all at once.

• Yesterday, I emailed the owner of the Big Website to let her know that I was done. Just as I was sending that email, I was receiving one from a gentleman letting me know that my proposal for a website had been accepted and he was ready to get started.
