Of Snow Days and Subways

The snowfall did cause a brief delay in Government business on Thursday, but the city seems rather resilient in the face of snow.  With that said, the city has had its faults, but managed the snow reasonably well.  There is still quite a bit on the ground, and many sidewalks are quite icy still, but with my boots I've been able to maneuver around the city somewhat.

This has also given me the opportunity to ride the Senate Subway instead of walking to work.  I prefer the walk, but with icy sidewalks, I've treated myself to the subway, which is kind of cool.  Not to mention just the concept of underground tunnels and subways linking office buildings together with the Capitol.  It makes you feel important.  And it's a lot nicer than venturing out into the cold.

And on the topic of other Subways, that was also my choice for dinner on our night of the snowfall.  As I mentioned earlier with the provolone post, different subways have different ingredients.  And this one, had spinach!  Popeye would be pleased, as was I.  There's also nothing like a warm tuna melt on a cold day.  It was actually my second one of the week, the first coming from a place called Cosi on last Sunday.

Work has been a little quiet, with the recess beginning, and lasting through next week.

The biggest development from the WSP apartment has been the establishment of a game bank.  We're hopeful that we can expand this collection over the years.  So far, we've got Apples to Apples and Catch Phrase.  Who knows what will be added next?

And so, until next time, Good Night and Good Luck.
