Let it snow... but not too much
(to the tune of "The Lumberjack Song")
I'm a shoveller and I'm okay
I sleep all night and I salt all day.
I shovel walks, do a great job
You'd never think it snowed.
I stand up proudly, beaming,
As a plow drives down the road.
I spent the weekend mostly either thinking about, talking about, shoveling out of, or driving through the foot of snow we received in central NJ. We spent a lot of this weekend with Grazina, including driving to and from Brooklyn on Saturday evening.
Speaking of Brooklyn, we went there to attend Amy's post-thanksgiving veggie thing. Suffice to say that she has very nice friends, including Blake and Paul who very nicely hosted the thing for her, in order to have it occur in a cat-free environment. [1]
Which brings me to tarot readings.[2] Amy kindly did some readings, and it was a good way to wind the party down. [3] Tarot is, depending on your point of view: 1) a way or divining the future, 2) a complete waste of time promulgated by superstitious idiots, 3) a fun game, or 4) a methodology of laying down symbols to use as a mask or a filter to interpret current events or answer specific questions.[4] Amy seems to practice something that is either a combination of (1) and (4) or is something else entirely, her method is more freeform and seems to be more unconscious, at least on her part. Kind of like she's not so much laying down cards but using them as a focus.
[1] Although there were numerous trips to her apartment next door to visit the kitties and make coffee.
[2] Keep reading, this segue will make sense.
[3] Told ya.
[4] I use this one. Or did you guess that?
