It’s May 10th. MAY 10TH! By the way, happy mother’s day to all you mothers out there. God knows you need more than one day. A mother’s month, maybe, or a mother’s quarter.

Despite it all, this storm is something of a dud. The people who have the strange job of naming weather events even slapped a moniker to it: Winter Storm Venus.

It doesn’t deserve a name. It’s just a snowy day. The only odd thing about it is that it’s happening on May 10th. MAY 10TH!

I was in shorts and flip-flops on Friday, for pete’s sake.

All day yesterday everybody was talking about how terrible it was gonna be, but, like the band Oasis or all recent Green Day albums, the hype did not measure up. I stocked up on beer and food, even, so I guess I’ll spend today eating and drinking myself silly, while not even remotely being snowed in.
