The Winter of Our Contentment (Steinbeck meets Jack Bruce!)

Let it SNOW, friends and countrymen! The first major nor'eastah of the year is here. Left the office at 1:00, got home at 3:00 - normally a 50 minute commute. It's coming down like a banshee now, and after shoveling the driveway and a scalding shower, I'm inside drinking a cold one and watching the winter wonderland. Christmas is coming, the car is paid off, the house is warm, my wife and best friend is three feet to my right and the world carries a lovely glow. It's great to be home, finally.
