The winter blahs...

There has been more snow in Boise this year than there has been in years. We are not way ahead of average, but the whole week has seen inches of snow fall, and Miriam learned that Boise is notorious for not plowing. In fact, the day after we got dumped on and Miriam was complaining about the lack of plowing, the headline in the paper was explaining why they don't plow because it is so rare that there is enough snow to make it necessary. Well, the one year I convince my wife, the Arizona sun lover, to move to Boise, and this is what we get. Anyway, today, it all melted off as we approached 45 and there was a lot of wind and rain.

As if the weather isn't enough to be depressing, Miriam agreed to work 11 straight graveyard shifts, so even when there was sun, she didn't see it. No wonder she hates Idaho. Well, she can survive for just 6 more months, so we are half-way through. We try to make her have some fun. For example, yesterday, we made her go sledding with us. It was a beautiful morning full of up and down fun. My nephew gave Mateo a white-wash, so I really let him have it.

Nothing else too exciting is happening, but I will keep you posted!
