Happy Valentine's day, everyone!

For our Valentine's Day, we have a major winter storm, a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain, with gusts of wind up to 50 miles per hour.

So Juma's school is closed.

But Yale is not.

Justin took a shuttle to campus at 3:45am, then a car service to the Hartford airport at 4am. Then he found out his flight was canceled. And all the flights in his layover city, Chicago, were canceled. So he's sitting at the airport, waiting to see if a flight later in the day will work out. He brought some books to read, but he forgot the power cord on his laptop, so he can't used his computer.

I have two classes that I can't show up to, an essay I can't write, a meeting I have to go to anyway, and paper to edit, a grant proposal to write, and regular homework to stay caught up on. And a extroverted 4-year old who can't possibly play independently for more than two minutes. Or one TV show.

There's a great sledding hill down the block, but the snow isn't good enough to sled on.

Do I win for stupidest Valentine's Day?

At least I get to spend it with Juma, resident cutie-patootie.
