Almost 3 feet of the white stuff came down Saturday night, burying NJ in a blanket of frustration and inconveniencing homeless people throughout the State. Personally, I love the snow.

Drama Queen
Cattie has joined, by her own will, a drama club at school. I am so proud of her for doing this, but I wish it wasn't in acting. To me, actors and Hollywood are vile, useless byproducts of society. Am I being too harsh?
