Because of Seattle’s SNOWMAGEDDON 2012, the weekend before last was the first  since August that Valerie and I have not been together which, in an ordinary relationship, is probably a welcome reprieve because GET OUT OF MY FACE!  That’s what Valerie will be saying to me one day when we live in the same state and sleep in the same house every night for forever.  And you know what I’ll say to her?  MAKE ME.  And then she will.
