White Out!

High winds, snow…what’s next? Well, according to those who get paid to prognosticate weather, it’s supposed to be back in the 50’s by this weekend. So my league game this Sunday will be back in shorts. But the last two days have been tights weather. Unless of course you're from upstate NY or Minnesota and like to play in shorts in this weather.

Our first snow game of the year came earlier than most people probably expected and it didn’t look like we were going to get enough to play until Bryan made his whole office come by providing clothes for everyone. Nice work B. Jason & Jas, great to have you all out there, please come back.

So, I’ve broken out my Barenaked Holidays CD this morning and I’m feeling very festive. Bob, I even brought the camera so you can take pictures today if you can come back out. By the way KUDOS to Bob. Sidelined with the pulled hamstring, he has been out in street clothes twice this week watching the game and lending moral support. With his long dress coat, he looks like Vince Lombardi or Tom Landry manning the sidelines and watching his team. How we doing coach?

Yesterday actually was not as hard to play in as the high winds of the past couple weeks. At least the disc flew the direction you generally threw it. There were some visibility issues (we switched to the bright yellow disc which helped) and some stopping challenges. For those of you who missed the fun, come out today. You won’t get to play in the snow falling but there should still be plenty on the ground.

I’m seeing there is “Unscheduled Leave” for Federal employees today…don’t get me started on my thoughts about this. There is maybe 2 inches of snow out there and the streets are very driveable but I’m sure people will be calling in en masse. The policy actually states “for those who cannot report for work”. “Cannot” and “don’t want to” are defined a little bit differently in this Scribe’s book.
