The snow around the country this week made life “interesting.” My younger son is loving this as he has been off from school on a snow day/long President’s weekend winter break and has discovered that there is money to be made in that old-fashioned thing called shoveling. He and his friend Stephen, who we have dubbed “Son 2B” since he is at our house a lot (his other friend Josh is "Son 2A”), have been shoveling the driveways of neighbors who are off skiing. The driveways around here are long, thus this is a booming business. Via Facebook and text message and with MapQuest maps in hand, they have ascertained who is away so they can “make their deals.” Note that I am fairly sure he slept through all shoveling around this house, which makes this all the more amusing, as well as the way they raided the pantry here for snacks to eat while shoveling.

Everything inside her tells her to deny the similarity between the boys, because she knows her adoption was lawful. But she’s a journalist and won't be able to stop thinking about the photo until she figures out the truth.

Flying to San Jose via Houston (all 8-plus hours) on Tuesday left lots of time for reading, knitting, watching the movie, napping and working on my laptop. Kudos to Continental for those new planes with power outlets on them! I got so much done that I think I should spend one day a week "up in the air." I confess I am not all that jazzed about the advent of Internet accessibility in the sky; I love escaping from new email for a while so I can attempt to catch up.
