White Out
I happened to be in Ohio last weekend and experienced a pretty heavy snowfall. By the time I left, 2 feet had accumulated. Needless to say, I didn't see much change.
When I got back to NYC, I found a penny on Monday and one yesterday.
Street Change: I'm going to collect all the money I find on the streets, in the parks, basically anything that's just lying on the ground. At the end of the year, I'm going to match what I've found and donate it to charity. Year One was really successful. Year Two: For every $1 I find, I'll also buy a scratch-off lottery ticket and donate a portion of the winnings (if there are any).

I'm a librarian though my license to loan was revoked. M thought it best if I did some desk time. In my spare time, I enjoy a good book, dancing, running and a fine beer.
