"It's great to be young and a Yankee."

So I'm a little behind schedule. I'm want to blame the weather, because I hate snow and have no compunction about throwing it under the bus for something that 100% isn't its fault. In reality, I'm behind schedule because I've been a bit under the weather. That, however, is something that I can absolutely pin on the [admittedly pretty and exciting] blizzard.

It's getting there, I guess. I still have a boatload of work to do on the facade, and given the battle it waged with me this afternoon, I suspect neither the facade nor I will escape from this ordeal without significant crippling.

I think it got to the point where I was seeing facade beams in my head, which was pretty much exactly what happened to me when I first got Tetris for Christmas like 20 years ago, and I played it so obsessively that I was starting to see Tetris blocks in just about everything I looked at. Windows on buildings. Piano keys. Magnets. (And this is to say nothing of the near madness I was driven to from having the Nutcracker Suite song running on a loop in my head for about a month and a half.)

Good times. One more week til P&C Day. The fact that baseball is starting in mere days is so weird-- and unassailably heartening-- in the context of the Logo-Warranting Blizzard. Baseball season is so, so close.

And that's what I'm going to think about when I'm sloshing through 10 inches of gray icy swamp on my walk to work tomorrow.

WAHOO!!! ONE MORE WEEK!
