welcome interstate managers

[jlh]

Welcome all who answered the call of team_jones or who have floated by from other places! I recently reformatted my profile page so it's a really good introduction to me and the things that go on around here. If you want to follow me on twitter please do, but send an @reply so I know who you are and can follow you back. I am going to do that 30 posts/30 days meme because it sounds fun.

The other thing I mean to say today is, in two weeks we'll be at the semifinals for American Idol, which means I'll be posting about Idol twice a week, recaps and polls and thoughts on results. I've trained as a singer so the recaps are pretty singerly, but I also ship Ryan and Simon and since it's the last year of Idol Rymon there will probably be more overt references to them.

I reward you with a playlist of the six awesome songs that played on shuffle when I braved the unshoveled sidewalks earlier to mail a check and get some canned tomatoes. (I had a pita pizza craving.) Yay music!

I'm in Brooklyn. They probably have more time than that given that a lot of the buildings here are single family residences or duplex apartments, but it doesn't get enforced particularly with such a big storm. And there are always vacant lots and things that don't get shoveled. It's still a mess today.

I think only when I lived in Manhattan did everything get cleared quickly. In Cambridge it seemed like they never got around to shoveling the sidewalks.
