Snow and Ice.

Well, the snow finally arrived today. We're kind of lucky because it could have been much worse compared to other states where ice storms are predicted. I limited the amount of the driving today to a bare mininum. The accumulation of snow is nothing major, but it's supposed to really snow tomorrow. I've nothing going on tomorrow but going to Mass. Once Mass is over, I'll be spending the rest of the day in my apartment hopefully watching the snow fall.

For dinner tonight, John and I went to the the Indian/Pakistani restaurant called "Tandoor". I've not been there in some time, and I had a buy one get one free coupon. The owner is this really cool guy named Faraz and I like how he remembers me even though I've not been there for a while. I had beef curry for dinner which was done in a typical Indian style. Granted, Hindus do not eat beef, but the curry was very authentic and I mentioned that to Faraz. Before leaving, he told me that if I ever want to order anything off the menu, to let him know in advance and he'll let the cooks know. It seems that his cooks have a repertoire of almost 250 dishes they can cook up. That's might impressive even in my books! I won't be surprised if I take Faraz up on his offer.

The big news this week is mum's upcoming retirement. She sent me an e mail letting me know that she submitted her letter to her boss and I believe her last day will be either the end of February or March depending on how long they want her to stay. Personally, I think it's for the best that she's retiring. When one loses all motivation to work and it's causing stress, that says something. It'll be interesting to see what she and dad will do once she's retired. Dad already mentioned that he's going to whip her into physical shape by getting her to go on walks with him. That should be most interesting to say the very least! I definitely see mum involved in different activities to keep her active. Who knows, she might go back to cooking/baking once again with all the time she has on her hands.
