The story of my life: other inconsiderate bastards keep winning
my Powerball jackpots. Nonetheless, I persevere.
Though as noted elsewhere around here, Snowmageddon '16 was pretty much a non-event in Memphis. My original plan involved planning to grocery shop on Sunday morning (despite predicted brutal cold) because I figured I'd need Saturday to let the roads clear. Turned out that we had so little frozen dihydrogen monoxide precipitate from the sky that I ventured out Saturday and couldn't tell there was much of a winter storm the day before.
Saturday night I had tickets to see Bill Maher at the Orpheum... Good show, and the man is as funny in person as he is on his HBO show (I've seen him live at least four times now--once in Chicago, twice in Memphis, and once in Huntsville, AL), but... he was only on stage for about 60 minutes or so... maybe 70 tops (the show was scheduled for 8 PM; Maher came onstage about 8:20-8:25 or so. When the house lights came up I dashed from my seat to my car (parked in the lot just across Beale Street from the theater), and when I got in the clock in my car (accurate to within a couple minutes or so) was reading 9:35... Next time he's here in Memphis I have to rethink whether it's really worth paying over $1/minute to see him...
But a relaxing weekend, and thanks to the snow day I got a lot of work done that I wouldn't have if my workplace hadn't closed for the day. I can't complain.
Cheers,
