This isn&#8217;t leap year, is it?  I lost track after they fucked with the Olympics).  While we did manage to dodge the foot-o-snow they predicted (incorrect weather forecasts &#8211; how unusual), it&#8217;s still really goddamn cold out there, and my wife informs me that, while the driveway was passable this morning, it could use a &#8220;quick&#8221; plow (it&#8217;s about 3&deg; out there, so &#8220;quick&#8221; goes without saying).  February, for the most part, has pretty much sucked and I&#8217;ll be happy to see it in the rear view mirror (not that March is shaping up to be much better &#8211; at least to start.  Comes in like a lion and goes out like a mountain lion and all that). At least when March gets out there, you know there&#8217;s light at the end of the tunnel and only six more weeks of winter.<\/p>\n<p>I bought Greek yogurt the other day.  Not on purpose, really &#8211; it was all they had that wasn&#8217;t in the little tiny cups.  I had no idea what the difference was between that and &#8220;regular&#8221; yogurt, but I know it&#8217;s gotten to be a big deal, which is good for the local economy (&#8216;cuz yogurt is made from milk, and one thing we&#8217;ve got a lot of around here is cows.  And chickens).  So I read up about it, and apparently they strain it multiple times until it comes out really thick and slightly chalky, so it&#8217;s got like 2-3 times the protein and less carbs (and no fat if you buy the fat free stuff).  I wasn&#8217;t overly thrilled at first, but with some blueberries in there, I got used to it and developed a taste for it (I think the shit would work really well as joint compound and\/or spackle, too).<\/p>\n<p>Well, I guess I&#8217;d better get some work done before I go out and plow.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally, we come to the end of the longest short month on the calendar (right?
