First snow

October 28th, 2008 ezra Posted in Dispatches |

I always love the first snowfall - I get a bit giggly and giddy like I used to when my mom would let me miss school on account of a “snow day.” That was back in BC where the white cold stuff was a bit of an anomoly. But on this chilly October night in Ottawa, it’s not that surprising. Still, I couldn’t resist taking a crummy photo with this phone I’m presently blogging with…22 centimeters of snow after 3 hours on a Greyhound, 3 hours of a graduate seminar, 5 hours of marking midterms, and 3 hours of research, and I’m down with the flakes!
