I won’t wax philosophical about it again, but this came in the mail today. Made me happy.

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-01-16

@athensgaweather Sounds like it just turned over to sleet or freezing rain, snow being stripped off the leaves on the east side of Athens. #
East side of Athens, almost seven inches on one side of the house, 5.5 on the other. @athensgaweather http://t.co/puaASvb #
Nice to know the county isn't taking any chances with plowing roads today. Oh, wait: they don't have any plows. http://yfrog.com/h5bqfgj #
@yelvington Maybe there's a story to be done on how often the average grocery store gets restocked if a few bad weather days wipe them out? #
And UGA will open on Thursday, but not until 11 a.m. I see a fun drive tomorrow morning … less fun walking across campus. #
This doesn't bode well for tomorrow: @accgov: East Broad St between Foundry St and Hickory St is closed due to ice until further notice. #
@jfrickuga FYI … http://t.co/3c4VFqD #
#athsnow Main roads to campus are good, watch out for shady spots. Any sidewalk not in sun is treacherous, that's where the problem will be. #
Awesome. @jfrickuga: Enjoyment of snow days in Georgia — pretty much! haha http://t.co/kdCFtNB #
Okay, this made me laugh, but what about the penguins at the aquarium? @wsbtvstorm: Zoo Atlanta is closed today. Polar bears report at 10 am #

Kid playing Nintendo DS in doctor's waiting room: "How am I supposed to win when my car goes so fast?" Uh, kid, we need to talk … #
Quote of the night: "I'm better at making up the things that happen." #
If you're "concidering" honoring me in a "Who's Who" book, you should probably learn how to spell consider. Also, how to capitalize. #
I came to ask a simple question and was then abandoned behind a counter. http://yfrog.com/h8wi0uj #

@KarenRussell @jfrickuga You know, some of us finished it last week, so we can loaf around with popcorn tonight. #

The new book for my Intro to PJ course was just released as an iPad app: http://tinyurl.com/2ae9gpr Sweet, and thanks @JoeMcNallyPhoto #
I suppose being followed by wannabe porn stars on Twitter is better than being followed by them in person … but it's still pretty creepy. #

*sigh* I only recognize one of the artists in Time.com's list of top 10 albums for 2010. And I'm not sure I've ever *heard* anything of his. #
I am hopeful that all of the #jour3710 portfolios will be in on time … and that no one is at home watching bad TV … ahem, @meghanne #
And with that last click, all #jour3710 portfolios are in. Ahead of deadline. Thanks God. LET THE GRADING COMMENCE! #
Boss called to let me know the President of the University of Georgia has approved my promotion to Senior Lecturer. Effective in…8 months. #
I am fairly certain some of my students are trying to give me a coronary today. After 15 weeks, AP style still eludes some of them … #
@HondoMesa I recommend Hakkapelita snow tires. Made in Finland where they really know snow. Try the RSis, loved them on the rally car. #

Phew … everyone made deadline today … #
So when you have a 7:45 a.m. doctor's appointment and the office is closed at 7:40 … um … yeah. #worriedhowthisdaywillgo #
Thought about "checking in" at the MRI office, options were Dunkin Donuts, Subway or Chil-fil-A. Which all helped me get here, but…uh, no. #
