Where I Am: In the car, headed to the bank

What I’m Doing: Not paying attention to the road

I’m not sure why I look so stoic. My fat face doesn’t lend itself to smiling but that’s no reason to mope, especially when it’s the first snowfall of the winter.

I think I’ve told at least 5 different people that it was the first time we haven’t had snow fall in Central Park in December since 1892 (which isn’t the right date, it’s 1877. 1892 sounds better, though.). I don’t know why I thought this particular factoid was interesting enough to make an appearance in several bouts of awkward small talk, but there you go.

We won’t have that same problem for January, as this picture demonstrates, This isn’t a very good picture (not that any of these are) but it’s the only one where the snow looks like snow and not rain or shows up at all.
