Skrubb it Out

Snow shoes.....

It was freaking snowing this morning. That makes a Skrubb record of 4 times this season for here. Global warming my backside! ;)

Nothing to treacherous on the commute to work. After sunrise this morning the snow wasn't sticking to anything, just left-overs on the roof. But it was a little fun to drive with the white flakes floating about.

Bad thing was that my neighbors (W&E, they're good people if you don't know them) left their garage door open all last night. Right above the garage is the master bedroom (at least it's that way in my house), which probably meant that they had a very cold night last night. Brrrrr....

Twinkie Effect....

I was participating in an employee CORE values session for work today and a discussion started about "Meaningful Work" as a value. During this discussion there was a statement something like, "Everything we do has value, it's important and we don't just do it because. It's not like we're making twinkies here...." Don't know about you, but any time a discussion involves twinkies ("Tell him about the twinkie" - Ghostbusters), I try to pay some attention.

We talked about many other values that we think we have and those that we should have. Yet, I find myself mostly intigued with the Twinkie Effect........

Snow....

It snowed a little today, itty bitty flakes that mostly did't last long once they hit something. This marks the third snow event for the year. Also the third snow event that I've been a party to since moving "up north". It's pretty cool, I always said I liked snow. It is pretty cold in comparrison to what I grew up with, but I prefer cold over hot any day.

I just need to learn how to use this "real" snow and make 38mm snowmen with it....
