Snowpocalypse Now...or in the next 18 hours or so

I have ground enough coffee beans to last me two days. 

I have salmon sushi in the freezer. 

I have a cooler in the back yard with some fine beers, including a few beauties from Ommegang. 

I have firewood, National Geographics, and student papers for kindling. 

And we've been fattening up the children and the dog for days now...just in case we run out of protein sources.  Cold snowy night -- we can always make more (children).

I'm ready. You?

Almost ready, Raskolnikov

Tomorrow night, going to see Crime and Punishment. 

Tonight, getting in the mood for mid-19th century Russia by oversimplifying the virtues of peasants, sycophantically imitating things that seem French, and drinking homemade kvas. And contemplating a pogrom.

I'm doing none of these things.
