I have to say, bold-faced "THE WHITE DEATH FROM THE SKY" is probably the best encapsulation of the weather forecast frenzy I've seen -- including the reaction in Chicago (my fair city), where I'm pretty sure our meteorologists were just jealous of the snowy doom elsewhere. Nicely done, you. :)sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15141842738977552483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051744883907551402.post-16746356785125269122010-02-11T15:51:56.316-05:002010-02-11T15:51:56.316-05:00Buon compleanno, Professore.

You showed that mastering the new media is best done by someone who already has mastered the language as well as the subject. Actually, in your case, they are one and the same. <br /><br />Elizabeth, though she wrote for the paper and the blog, never seemed to mind when I would talk restaurants with her at the gym. She truly loved her job, and it showed.Anne Haddadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051744883907551402.post-54200474796773666612010-02-10T17:19:29.002-05:002010-02-10T17:19:29.002-05:00I'm still laughing....but I just have to comme...I'm still laughing....but I just have to comment. First of all, Happy Birthday! Second, I love that your blog posts are always the exact, correct length. Never too long, and never too short. Third, I'm still laughing! The phrases "the combination of ignorance with effrontery" and "Shut up, they explained." will linger in my mind for several days now, making me chuckle at odd moments.Hal Bradburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06356276956747629540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051744883907551402.post-1987576785937061582010-02-10T16:10:06.731-05:002010-02-10T16:10:06.731-05:00Many happy returns of the day, Prof. McIntyre.

I never imagined in my wildest nightmares I'd be out of work this long. And I know I'm among the fortunate. I think I'll be able to hang on to my house now, with the help of some good friends and good fortune. Good luck to you and best wishes for the year ahead.Andrew Poupartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051744883907551402.post-25081740714123268642010-02-10T12:27:56.504-05:002010-02-10T12:27:56.504-05:00Happy birthday, John!

That sounds young ...Congrats on your 59th birthday. That sounds young to me. In fact, people's 50s are the new awkward adolesence -- too old to easily find work, too young for pensions and Social Security. The perfect age, given today's economy, is 106. A sickly 106. The perfect age for a journalist today might be 109.<br /><br />But we must remain cheerful as the snow blows past our windows horizontally, seekly drifts to pile higher and trees to crush. All we know for sure, as the storm blasts away, is that the poor will suffer the most. Incidentally, there ought to be a rule that the wealthy may not complain about anything, not even about the poor, certainly not about snow. Got a net worth over $3 million? Can't complain. Another rule: If you don't shovel your own walk and driveway, you can't complain about the snow.<br /><br />Happy Birthday! You'd be three candles removed from SS except the minimum age will probably be raised.Patrick K.
