It is kinda weird. I left for a few years, but for some strange reason came back to Ypsi. Now that we are planted it is nice to hear that things are getting better. Ypsi has always had a bad rap, but some of it is where in Ypsi you are. There is a strange blend of all sorts of socio/racial/economic backgrounds.

Don't forget that we have a kick ass radio station WEMU, which is where I heard about the meetings results.

I totally agree about the RAC. I have only been there once to see a MCRT play there.

I have already ranted about a commuter rail .

Mark Maynard had really good point about the lack of comment on Wireless Ypsi, Shadow Art Fair, and the Farmers Markets.

Ann Arbor News has a wrapup and the DDA has the report.

So we have had a nice number of snow days this year that have been spread out. The nice thing is that it gives me a chance to shovel the driveway.

The most important thing about a snow day is to start out with a great breakfast. The last snow day we made blueberry muffins. This morning I made myself a Triple shot of expresso with some vaguely frothed chocolate soy-milk while Bridgit and Eli were still sleeping. By the time they got up around 7:45am I had cherry almond pancakes going. Diagnosis: delicious.

I try to blend to goals on a snowday: get caught up on stuff and do fun stuff. I don't want to offend the snowy part of God by wasting a snow day exclusively on one or the other. I feel that it is a chance to get caught up on household chores, but that we also need to do something fun that we wouldn't have done if it wasn't a snow day. XC Skiing is one of our favorites.
