It's been raining all night, my girlfriend said this morning.

When I went into the bathroom and I looked out the window I thought about how this is how 

snowmageddon

would arrive. The temperature would fall below freezing tonight and then it would all turn into snow.

Being

snowed in

is a nice quaint treat. So long as it doesn't last more than a few days and you have plenty of food.

Maybe we'll get a lot of baking done. I wonder what the forecast is for the northern 

midwest

and the 

northeast

. I have a friend who's planning on driving in this 

Friday

. But maybe he won't be able to.

That drive is nice when there's no snow, but those mountain paths can be treacherous with it.

Last weekend I went to a place called the Village Pub for a birthday party. This weekend my friend is throwing a fun get together for no reason at all. I was planning on bringing a bottle of 

scotch

, but then I learned that someone dealing with

alcoholism

will be there.

My friend and I decided it best to not make alcohol a central or even peripheral subject of the party. But having a nice single malt scotch makes that impossible. I wouldn't be able to not spend time relishing on the pouring and the sipping and making sounds of being refreshed like going ahhhhh.

So it will be shitty 

beer

 instead. God bless America!
