More snow tithe.

Ok, mother nature, I get the point. Enough already.

Got anywhere from 17" in the South Metro to something like 8" up here in the North Metro. Decent snowstorm, but really surprised that they have delayed opening for the University this morning 'till noon.

Not that I'm complaining or anything!

Morning tithe... This kevlar vest sure is heavy...

Wear it with pride, big guy. It prevents a shiv to the heart, between the ribs or to the back.

Are we being literal here?

Nope.

USS Mike,

I have some troubles too. They begin and end with no new turn in my inbox. Can you be of any assistance?

Talk to that fellow mid-westerner.

DUDE! I may be many things, a fetched up Yankee, a southern wanna-be , but I am in no ones imagination a Midwesterner. Besides, they don't want me.

You're a dude, dude.

Dude!

Sounds like there's room for repair. I hope it works out.

Dude! Here's how to get accepted out in Nebraska. There used to be some web cams set up in corn fields out there. Locate a few of those on the web and watch a few of them for a few hours. Then go down to the local watering hole and discuss what you were watching for another hour or so. You'll fit right in.

It should do. We've had the shouting bit (me) and the apologising bit (both of us) and I've managed to get the day off so today has been the talking/explaining bit (her).

No ice storm at all. I followed my pre-laid plan, didn't commute with her and restricted any interaction at work to strictly professional topics. We exchanged maybe four or five sentences through the day.

It's a little sad, considering what we had just one week ago, but...

a negative result of the era of political correct-ness. You have to watch anything and everything you say to someone of the opposite gender in the workplace.....or anybody for that matter. Somone is always getting offended about something.

With a little time and caution , she'll realize your innocence. And maybe you will be back there. Time is an absolute amazing healer. Especially when combined with sincerity.

I'm not sure I want what we had back, Steve. If she reacts like this over what happened here, what'll happen next time I step over some invisible line?

Kids are off school, and Alex has a hockey lesson. As good of an excuse as any to take the day off work.

Good luck to all threadster brothers.
