Off the List:
Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah, Stephen King

Snow and Books
matt | January 3, 2006
So, we got somewhere between 10 and 12 inches of snow today. There was 6 this morning, which means I would have had to shovel for an hour or so just to get out of the drive. So, I ended up working from home, which ended up being very productive.
