In Which I am Snowed In

It's official. There is no school in Northern Virginia until after New Year's. The side streets have not been plowed, and are now a melty, icy, snowy, slushy mess that are nearly impassable to anyone without 4-wheel drive. Fortunately, the main roads are clear, so I got out to buy butter to make cookies.

For those getting into the Christmas spirit and also perhaps snowed in, Smithsonian Magazine published an interesting article about Handel's Messiah. this month. Here's the link:
