At least this year you can delegate to the peons.

Yeah really. Can't you just take off for a few runs here and there to sample the product or something? You're a big shot there now, after all...

here, let me translate that for you.

We dont have a %()$in clue as to what is going to happen so lets just throw out every possibility and put times in there to make it sound professional.

Sounds about right.

One of the local news channels did actually admit last night that there were a lot of variables this week in the weather and that they couldn't reliably predict what would be happening. Like that's any different than any other day.

The good news is that if we end up being on for Wed night, my parents have agreed to watch the kids so I can go for a couple of hours and join you guys.

Awesome! If it's game on I'll be there, possibly w/ Timmy in tow.

Thursday is a no go for me. I'm trading Thurs for a Saturday with one of my buds from Boston.

Bummer. I'm leaning towards Thursday to enjoy the powder at this point.
