If yes, I'm okay with that. If we ever invent time travel, first thing we do is correct that. Emily, I don't know where to begin. Your grandparents have a farm. Your dog has a last name. Can't even decide whether to end those sentences with exclamation points or question marks. Your blizzard of '96 sounds so much better than mine. And Ellen's.

Emily, I don't know where to begin. Your grandparents have a farm. Your dog has a last name. Can't even decide whether to end those sentences with exclamation points or question marks. Your blizzard of '96 sounds so much better than mine. And Ellen's.

We found him and his brother shortly after the thaw on my grandparent's farm. He's a good ol' dog!

We also had midterms that week and the phrase "But everyone else is canceling midterms!" was oft-heard through the halls, whined by whoever managed to drag themselves to school. I also recall the first day school was open almost sliding off the road three times. Anyone with a parked car was well-advised to leave all the snow on as a defensive padding.
