Ice storm....

Dear Nicky,

Today the weather was lousy but at least we were all together. I made you guys some pancakes for breakfast, which you loved. A huge freezing rain storm covered everything in thick ice, and I spent a good part of the morning chiseling us out and then helping some neighbors. You and Junie mostly played Wii, but had fun without it too. Later the three of us took a trip down to Target to get some stuff. You guys were a handful there, lemme tell you. It was also frustrating because a power failure had prevented the gates on the pharmacy from opening and that kept us from getting some mess we needed. We came home, you ignored your dinner, had a bath, and went to bed. Tomorrow I'm going up to NH for the weekend to see my folks, because Yiayia is still in rehab. It'll be a long, lonely ride, and I'll miss my little family.

Love,
Dad
