Snow day, reprise

[rolanni]

As reported earlier, I didn't go to work today, though I put in a good few hours doing such things as I could from home. Never did get the room reservations taken care of, since the scheduling software won't let me in from here (grumble, snarl), so that's for tomorrow. Also a couple of questions that I couldn't answer, because the answers are at the office. Tomorrow for those, too.

The plowguy finally came by about 1:15, just as Steve was making lunch. We covered the pan, turned down the heat, scrambled into jackets and boots and got the cars out of the driveway. It took me a couple minutes, some rocking, and an ice-berm breaking whack courtesy of the plow, but I did manage to get Binjali the Altima out onto the road. Which is a Good Thing.

In addition to work, I got some actual work done, and now I'm for doing the dishes and maybe reading something that I didn't write.

Progress on Mouse and Dragon:

22,647 / 100,000 (22.6%)

"Has the delm in his wisdom decided to allow yos'Phelium to wither?"

"Perhaps," Daav said, matching her tone for acid. "Certainly it must come under consideration, given the low quality of recent crops."

"Now, that, I cannot allow," Er Thom yos'Galan said, softly. "Pat Rin is growing quite accomplished."

Oooh, snippet. That must be Kareen.

In other news, Fine Prey arrived back home today. Thanks!

Awww. Go Er Thom.

(I've been contemplating for some time how it shakes down that Pat Rin's line runs the planet, but Daav's line runs the clan.)

and the seed that fell among thorns was choked?

Synchronicity -- this morning I had reason to look up the parable of the Sower, with seed that fell by the wayside and was eaten by birds, seed that fell on stony ground and was burned by the sun, seed fell among thorns and was choked, and seed that fell on good ground and yielded much fruit. Seems to resonate with the withering and crops metaphor somehow.

Thanks for the tickle!
