Upsides

The upside to being a programmer is that it is really easy to work from home when there is 13 inches of snow on the ground and you can't get your car out of the alley unless you shovel the whole thing yourself (I am not going to, I am going to wait for it to get plowed).

gwangi made it into work, of course. He gloats about being a hardcore bike commuter. Then again he doesn't get to spend the day sitting on the coach with a cat sleeping next to him, does he?

Cats

Me: Have you noticed that Xerxes has love-handles?
Zach: They are called love-handles so don't go hatin' on my cat.

BTW, Zach has started calling Xerxes "XHB" because those are his initials on facebook. We sort of need a baby to focus all this attention on. LOL
