the s word

We didn't try any of your tearjerkers yet, but thank you. We haven't, because we didn't want to go to the video store, much to Orbit's dismay. We didn't want to go because an ice cold wind is howling around the house. I headed out for milk around five, and there was s n o w. Freaking bloody blowing snow. Not much, but hey, it's October. Good thing we bought all those sweaters last weekend. (I always feel this weird sense of pride when the whole family is dressed well.) And Otger's new winter coat, in which he looks like a young Bob Dylan. But don't tell him that.
