Estimated Reading Time: 9 minutes

Update: please scroll down to see several more HAPPOers – the afternoon edition of this post. Again – these are all wonderful people who have unique skills and personalities – so if, while you’re reading their bios and posts, you can think of a connection that will help them – do make it.

That’s a Lotta Snow: #snowmageddon 2010

Estimated Reading Time: 53 seconds

Didn’t think you’d manage to escape another #snowmageddon-dogs video, didja?

To set the stage, though (remember I used to be in the theater business), here’s what our deck (which is what the kitchen door opens out onto, and the way we get into our backyard, and where the dogs… you know…) looked like this morning around 7 am EST, followed by Lola Elizabeth (don’t you know bassets always, ALWAYS, must have middle names) looking out of the window longingly. And once you’ve had a gander at the photos (more here), do enjoy […]
