The snow won’t be limited to Pikes Peak much longer, according to the weatherman — we’re supposed to get another heaping helping of winter here in Bibleburg either tonight or tomorrow.
The festivities are supposed to commence this afternoon with rain, then segue into wind and snow tonight and tomorrow, just in time to FUBAR our plans for a shared birthday celebration in Crusty County on Thursday with our friends Hal and Mary.
Herself turned 49 on March 12, Hal hits the half-century mark on Thursday and I will be 56 on Saturday. The plan was to meet up in their neck of the high-country woods on Thursday for food and drink, but we may wind up eating snow cones down here in the flatlands.
• Late update: Well, the weatherman was right, damn it. Looks like we’ve got maybe three inches already at 8:30 p.m. local time. If this is spring, you can have it. Instead of riding my bike I’m gonna be shoveling snow, cooking posole and serving as a heating pad for cats. Feh.

Patrick! You’ve said before, “I’ll never be smart.” You’ve adequately proved that by calling your 29-year-old wife 49. Once Herself finishes with you not even Turk and Mia will associate with what’s left. Happy Birthday to you all!
Happy early birthday! We share the same birthday but you had a 2 year head start. Everything will be cleared up by Thursday afternoon and we will be starting the next warming cycle. I don’t mind the snow so much, I just don’t like the sand and granite they have to put on the road each time. Enjoy you 56th.

Hey Happy Birthday! May the rest of the year be 40mph tail winds.
Happy birthday you old dog!
Happy, happy and many more happies to come. We’ve quit counting at our house.
Happy Birthday(s) wherever you celebrate ’em!
But at least the USA has some sort of healthcare now, right? Probably not exactly what the left-wingers among us wanted but more than the right-wingers wanted. Maybe a small step but finally some progress after how many years of doing nothing but arguing about this basic right? If I’d known I’d have to leave the country for awhile for this to get done I would have left long ago! Sunny and warm here in Viterbo, gotta get out for a ride this afternoon for no other reason that I CAN.
