Snow Day

I called my daughters this morning, stuck in the 'burbs with their kids at home...again. One was making pancakes ( she'd already be at her desk in the city), the other preparing chili and digging a path for her clients. They reminded me of those sweet old days when me and my brothers burst into my parent's bedroom drunk with glee after the radio announced: MERRICK SCHOOLS CLOSED...my mother, a homebody, clapped, sharing our enthusiasm. I believe, she craved our company...the shift in her domestic schedule, a gift, delivered in the message of snow.
