From snow in Blue Heaven to blues in snow heaven
Pity the poor schussers and telemarkers, sledders and shredders. Babs Young reminds us that just last week, on Christmas Eve, this is what it was like in Blue Heaven: Then came balmy winds, swirling fog, rain. Rain for crying out loud. Today, snow lovers all over the North Country—not to mention their hapless hosts—are singing the […]
Report from Foggy Top
December 27, 2008
Here we are, a day after my whining about the snow and ice, with clear roads (and decks and steps). We can’t see much of them for the fog, but unless you were planning to spend the weekend skiing, it’s probably an improvement. I’ve been thinking of foggy things all day. Sandburg’s fog infiltrating Chicago […]
Help is at hand
December 26, 2008
Last week my deck and steps were covered in snow on top of ice on top of more snow on top of more ice . . . you get the idea. I tackled it with my trusty chopper and shovel, but I wasn’t making a whole lot of progress. Then I got Tom Morrison over […]
Lights of Christmas . . . and bells, bells, bells

I love the candlelight reflected on the brass cherub cutouts, the bladed canopy that makes the cherubs go round and round, faster and faster, […]
Morning lights
December 23, 2008
A lot of people in the Township get up at dark-thirty on winter mornings to go to work, and thank goodness for them. They turn on the lights all along our little patch of US-31, casting a warm glow. Here’s what it was like earlier—much earlier—today: The big mail truck pulled up at the Post […]
Festival of Lights
December 22, 2008
Last night was the first night of Chanukah. The lighted menorah flickers in the window every night for eight nights, celebrating . . . well, that depends on who you ask. History is complex, and the battles between Hellenes and Hasmoneans occurred a long time ago. Everyone agrees, though, that it’s a very good time to be […]
