• No church today. We got a few inches overnight, which would not normally shut everything down, but we are in a snow advisory and supposed to get a few more before noon. Many churches have cancelled services this morning. I am guessing it is because they don't think they'll have the walks cleared off when church gets out. Of course, it could also be because the road crews are less likely to be out on Sunday morning, especially before everything stops. I guarantee the city crews won't be out this morning, and most of the churches are down city streets.

  It's coming down hard. We cannot see the contours of the steps out front, nor can we see the hard lines on the steps across the street. They are all rounded over. It has snowed very small flakes very hard on and off all night. Many times you could not even tell it was snowing, except that the snow kept getting deeper and deeper.

  John did remember to wish me happy birthday this morning. I guess I woke him up when I got up to use the restroom at 4 a.m. It looked terribly light outside from inside the bedroom. The light coming through the edges of the blinds was like it does just before sunrise. I guess it was from all the snow reflecting back streetlights and porch lights.

  I woke up with a sore throat this morning - not good when I've got tons of work to do today. I was planning on helping John shovels the walks and the driveway when it lets up, but he says I should stay inside. I was also hoping we could go see "The Pursuit of Happiness" today as a birthday treat. That movie looks so good, especially since it's a true story. I saw an interview with the real man and I had tears in my eyes. With the weather being the way it is, and me trying to come down with something again, I think we'll pass. I guess we'll just have to rent it when it comes out on DVD.
