Snow much around me

I realize, many of my writings hinge around, or at least involve snow. But, I mean, come on. It's snow. Therefore it's really great. And possibly my favorite form of weather, mos def my favorite form of precipitation.

Anyway, the entire state of North Carolina is covered in frozen white goodness. It has been falling since Sunday here in Boone. Even Wilmington got some snow. I think that makes for a total of 7 snowfalls for them in all of recorded history.

To me, days when it is snowing, even when I do have class don't seem like school days. They are automatically more epic. Take today for instance. Got up, went to class, got back, priced out building a new wheel for my bike, executed a project I have wanted to make happen for some time now, then went and played with dogs all afternoon.

You heard right. I went to the Boone Humane Society with a few friends and played with the pooches for most of the afternoon. For me, who has been deprived of a dog to play with for far too long, it was phenomenal. I took the most energetic pooch of all time for a nice romp in the snow and woods. Only served to further cement in my mind the need to get a dog ASAP.

And, I am trying to maybe go to Boston for Spring Break. If anybody wants to roll, get at me and we can figure this joker out. I'd love the company, and Boston is a city I would recommend to any and everyone.
