This Blog Is Not Dead

It’s only hibernating. Just thought I’d better clarify that.

And if you or your computer are not loving the snow on WordPress.COM blogs, here’s a handy tip from tellyworth in the forums:

The ultimate holiday song mashup done right by Straight-No Chaser.

Reminds me of the year (B.M.*) my Girl Scout troop stood outside the local department store in our neighborhood singing carols and freezing our bottoms off. We sang everything, including a light assortment of Hanukkah songs.

*B.M. means “Before Malls”, which I might add is also a Minnesota invention.
