Missouri is in the grip of an ice storm. I like weather, especially when it's dramatic. Although this instance is inconvenient -- I opted out of the 20 mile drive to church this morning and can't explore my surroundings the way I'd hoped -- I'm looking forward to the possibility that the sun will eventually glisten through whatever ice-coated branches remain on the trees when it's all over.

As a result of my efforts to pack as lightly as possible, I simply have not brought enough with me to read. I must have forgotten that I suffer acutely from a condition that I call abibliophobia, otherwise known as the fear of being without enough books. I'm okay for now, but I especially miss my C.S. Lewis collection that I'm in the mood to revisit. Ah, Amazon.com, the desperate woman's friend.

You know the best part of having a bad cable TV connection? I don't have to suffer through political ads. Life's little rewards are everywhere if you look for them.
