So here in Atlantic City I'm still waiting for that first flake of snow. Kind of hard to have Snowmaggeden when it's 43° outside. I know I know it's coming tonight. I'm hunkered down. My parents called from Ohio to tell me to stay in. I called my brother to make sure he had plenty of supplies to ride old Juno out in - Florida. Happy Birthday bro.

One thing that these weather "events" do that few other things can is make us stop. Just stop. Meetings got canceled, so did school, people have late starts for work, and people went right home from work tonight. I think that is great. People who have the world a mouse click away, who will actually take a coffee urn into a restaurant to fill and take home (I've seen this), and who are constantly on the go often forget about the hearth at home. It's neat to be bundled up with all the folks you love. Isn't it?

I made slight strategy misstep myself by putting on Abduction starring Taylor Lautner. Hey, I needed some background noise while I was writing this. Don't judge me. I'm on team Jacob! I'm a woman who runs with the wolves (see my blog from 01/05 http://www.michelletomko.com/blog/women-water-circle. Granted there are more holes in the script than a piece of very handsome Swiss cheese. But the big mystery is why in the hell is the movie called Abduction when nobody is abducted, or kidnapped, or even delayed in traffic? No wonder it was hard to follow. The writers didn't even know what it was about. The formula for that movie was simply Twilight + cute boy + teens = $$$. Shame on you Sigourney Weaver. You were in Annie Hall for christ's sake. I mean calling a movie Abduction when there is no abduction is like calling weather Snowmaggedden when it's raining. And that would be ridicu…oh.

Good night and good luck.
