Yup ... I may as well be in Buffalo THIS week ... 20-something degrees out every day. UGH!! Anyway ... here's a cool "human interest" story. It snowed overnight on Thursday into Friday, and again on Friday into Saturday. Now, I have two cars ... an SUV that I take on road trips and when the weather is bad, and a little, incredibly gas efficient hatchback that I love to drive around town and for normal commuting. So ... when I got up to go to my rehearsal on Saturday morning, I scraped the ice and snow off of my SUV and took off at about 8:00. After the rehearsal and several errands later, I arrived back home around 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon. As I drove through my parking lot, I noticed that all of the cars that had not been moved since before the snow hit were still quite covered. So, as I pulled into my parking lot section, I looked for my little blue hatchback under a pile of snow. GET THIS PART!! Someone had not only brushed the snow off of my car, but had scraped the windows bone clean. I was amazed!! There were lots of other cars that needed cleaning, but some kind soul did mine. I have absolutely NO IDEA who it was. The likely culprits (a wonderful upstairs neighbor couple) insisted that they didn't do it, and I don't really know anyone else around here. I can't imagine who ... so, in lieu of thanking him/her, I am putting this in my blog so that you can get a good idea about maybe doing the same sort of anonymous favor for someone else!! :-) Go for it!!

By the way ... our Substitute Teacher Assignment Network at school is named S.T.A.N. (get it ... SSSSubstitute TTTTeacher AAAAssignment NNNNetwork!!??) There was a huge piece of paper on my front seat that I put there as a reminder. It said, "Call STAN!!!" in big letters. Whoever it was that was cleaning my car could NOT have missed seeing that piece of paper. They must be thinking now that I have a wonderful man in my life named STAN. LOL!! I assure you that I don't!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!
