for the second straight day. Last night my upstairs neighbors went out and shoveled the driveway, no trivial matter. They said they enjoyed the exercise. I think the landlord ought to be doing this.

My Tuesday and Thursday Japanese art class is not meeting this week, so I wasn’t unhappy about staying home yesterday. But then Charna called. Her school was closed and she wanted to go to the health club. I took the car out and drove in the snow. It wasn’t too bad, and I’ve certainly had plenty of experience, coming from Chicago. It’s always the other guys I worry about. Those SUV drivers think they will have no problems in snow. And I’m convinced that the worse driver you are, the more likely you are to buy one of those monsters.

I have another class this afternoon. Haven’t decided yet whether I’m going.
