Now, was that so bad?

The storm is over. Looks like four or five inches of snow with a crust on it, although unofficial reports provided to the National Weather Service measured snow at six inches in State College, Pennsylvania, my home town. The photo at the left is from my office window to the street below. Typical winter day. There was freezing rain last night. The roads were slippery and treacherous during the home commute. No big problems, as far as I can see.

The coffee today is courtesy of Yuki. I am brewing in my coffee maker (see photo on right) a thermos full for the remainder of the day. Alessi Imported Caffee Epresso says the can ("100% pure coffee"...."Makes great cappuccino"...."Hand roasted and ground in Italy"). I can't find any information on the net about the coffee, but Alessi apparently makes high-end coffee brewers (see Google of "Alessi Coffee"). Yuki bought the coffee in Taiwan, I believe. Very full-bodied and tasty. Thank you, Yuki.

Dressed today in my white wool fisher's sweater that I bought in Ireland 15 or 20 years ago:

I rarely wear this sweater because it is so warm that it boils the socks off me. I thought today might be a cold day, but it is so warm in here that I will be stripping soon. Make sure you open the web cam in my office...LOL.

PS: Listening to some nice music today streaming to my iTunes player from SoulfulSmoothJazz.com.
