On Twitter they called our weekend blizzard the DC Snowpocalypse. Hyperbole, indeed. But it did claim a victim in that my husband appears to have shoveled out our driveway one time too many. He had an odd and very abrupt episode yesterday an hour after he came in from shoveling— no chest pains but really bad nausea and dizziness. He could not even walk. I had persuaded him to let me take him to the emergency room only after it didn't get better in a few hours. When he couldn't make it to the car, we had to call an ambulance.
I stopped worrying as much when we got to the ER because they checked him out quickly and then made us wait. We are now trapped in an episode of House; he actually feels much better but he is still in the hospital undergoing test after test while they try to figure out what happened.
His birthday is in January. I am getting him a snow blower.

But I hope you get out of your episode of House very quickly, like right away, and that all turns out for the best and he comes home tomorrow and there's nothing wrong or there's a pretty basic explanation for what happened. In the meantime, I'll be thinking of you two.

Sending good thoughts your way.
Will keep you in my thoughts.
Luckily, this year, when it wasn't enough, we had neighbors who came by with a lawn tractor and a snow blower.
So I guess you should move here!
Give that guy our best. And give him beer!
I came to your journal by way of a prescient and hilarious comment you made in response to a recent Publishing Perspective ("Apple is Up to Something Publishers May Not Like"). Bezos and Jobs/Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun, indeed. I was delighted to find your journal equally witty and dead-on accurate, and I wish you every success with TURNABOUT. Regarding the discussion of enhanced ebooks, as luck would have it my next novel lends itself well to the technology, and publisher and I are just now plotting a strategy to exploit it. Should prove interesting.
My best,
