It's Sonwing Out

Yes, that's a deliberate misspelling. There is snow falling, and whenever that happens I think back to someone I used to briefly work with years ago.

She wasn't the brightest bulb in the pack, and she was terrified of having to be out in the snow. So, I show up at work one morning, expecting to find her there finishing her late night shift.

But she is gone - thank goodness I had a key to get in, this was a very very small company.

She did at least leave a note. It read as follows, and all misspellings are exactly as she wrote them:
"It's sonwing outside. My boyfiend is coming to pick me up."

I get the giggles over that to this very day.

And it is snowing out today, in late February. That's not unheard of, but fairly rare by this time of the year. Surprisingly, my kids still had school. Usually our district cancels school if there are more than three flakes on the ground.

Well, that's it for today.
