If it gets too cold, warm up at the local café, where they are serving hot mushroom soup. Or, just sip your espresso and catch up on the paper.

Going home, be careful. Snow removal is in full swing. Nearly every block has a guy on the roof pushing the stuff down. Step out of the way.

And for God’s sake, enjoy the food. Post on food will follow. Tomorrow. I am off now to enjoy the food.
