Over the weekend DC had its first snow of 2006.

Finally!

Needless to say, it recharged my batteries a bit. I’ve uploaded some of the pictures to my Flickr page – click here to view them. There will be more uploaded from our middle-of-the-night frolic in the snow, which was incredibly fun.

Tonight, I’ve been working dilligently on a paper for class. While the paper is due on Wednesday evening, I wanted it finished (more-or-less) by tonight so that I can spend sprite’s birthday with her. Yeah, I have class from 4:15 to 6:05 tomorrow, but that’ll be a “pit stop” for her – no big whoop.

But the paper (on VW’s manufacturing plants in Mexico and the political ramifications from said operation) has been fun to write. It’s the right length now (6 pages and change, double-spaced), and I’m happy with it. I’ll give it a final proof on Wednesday over lunch, just to make sure everything is fine. But it reads well right now, which is a good sign.

Off to grab the shuttle to Dupont….

P.S. – my prognostication for the mens DH at the Olympics was off. Guess I’m no better than DC weathermen are at their jobs.
