Snow Day!
Welcome to the 6th floor.
Today’s contributors are: Ann, Sara, Tabitha, Frank
Subject: Snow Day!
“Yikes! It’s still snowing!”
“It can snow all week for all I care. I hope I miss work tomorrow too!”
“This is one time I’m glad I no longer have a car. Having to spend 15 minutes cleaning off your car before you can go anywhere in the freezing cold isn’t fun.”
“That’s why I park my car in a garage!”
“You park your car in the garage because when you used to try to get street parking, you’d forget about alternate-side parking and have a zillion tickets.”
“Doh. Well, I’m still glad it’s in the garage on days like this.”
“Someone get Tabitha a cup of hot chocolate or something so she stops shivering in a ball on the couch?”
“I’m on it.”
“Add a little chipotle powder, gives it a nice flavor. Plus, the heat makes you feel warmer!”
“No spicy!” Tabitha mumbles from amidst the blankets.
“However, it is fun to watch the snow from inside a warm house. With hot chocolate. It’s so beautiful.”
“Seems March really is coming in like a lion.”
“And out like a lamb too you think?”
“Didn’t you buy tickets to a Citi Field game or something late March? I bet you hope it goes out like a lamb.”
“I always thought it went out like a lamb because lots of people eat lamb for Easter?”
“Easter’s not until the 12th though.”
“Probably more of a Spring, rebirth, baby animal type thing. The end of March is springtime you know.”
“Yeah. That’s probably it. I guess we could look it up..”
Frank gazes at the computer across the room from his seat.. “And get up? Naah…”
“Actually,” pipes up Tabitha from the couch, “It has to do with the position of the constellations in the March sky. Leo early, Aries late.”

March
Welcome to the 6th floor.
Today’s contributors are: Ann, Sara, Tabitha, Frank, Billy and Scott.
Subject: March
“It’s that time of month again!”
“Oh no! She’s going to ask us about March! Run!”
Scott and Frank leap up and start dashing towards the bedrooms, but Ann blocks their way.
“Tough. It won’t hurt that much, I promise.”
“That’s what the doctor always says too, before he comes at me with a giant needle!”
“At least he puts a Mickey Mouse band-aid on your boo-boo.”
“Yeah, that’s true.” Frank sits back down and resumes his game with Sara.
“Hey, I’m losing 34-22? You didn’t pause it?!”
“Oh, you wanted it to pause it? My mistake.” Sara grins.
“You’ll regret that! Prepare for an amazing comeback.”
“My birthday’s in March, so that’s cool. This year’s the big Two Seven.”
“The big Two Seven? What’s so great about 27?”
“Well, It’s prime for one thing.” Sara calls over from the couch.”
“No it’s not…nine and three..?”
“Oops. Nevermind. So what is so great about 27 then Scott?”
“I just wanted to say the big Two Seven. Nothing special.”
“I know it’s a little cliché going with a food answers, but I like cornbeef and cabbage as well as Irish soda bread.”
“Speaking of that, did you see that Guinness is looking to make St. Patrick’s Day an official holiday?”
“Not a bad idea. I love Guinness.”
“They got a petition I guess? I’d sign that.”
“915,913 signatures to go apparently. That’s a lot in only two weeks. I don’t even like Guinness but I think it’s a good idea.”
“They even have a commercial, where they’re interviewing what I guess is a pilgrim, asking him if he’s jealous about the idea.”
“On that avenue of thought, I’m going to say green beer is my favorite thing about March.”
“Green beer? You know it’s just food coloring right? I could make you some green beer right now.”
“Wouldn’t taste the same if it’s not the 17th. Your turn Ann, I know how you like to weasel out of your own questions.”
“That’s easy, my favorite thing about this March is that Wednesday marks one whole year of writing the blog. I’m proud of myself.”
“A bit modest are we? I’m going to say Easter. It’s neat that it’s early this year. I Looove dying Easter Eggs.”
“Yeah, that should be fun. Maybe we should all stick around here this year instead of going home to our families. Last but not least, Sara. No baseball reasons, you always find a way to make it about baseball.”
“But.. But..”
“No! And I might not let you use it in April either!”
“Speaking of days that should be holidays, Opening Day should really be a national holiday so we can all watch our national pasttime.”
“I’m with you there. Look on the bright side, I’m my own boss and you are unemployed. We can both watch it at leisure!”
“I knew there was a benefit to being home all day! If I can’t have baseball, I’ll go with the ‘In like a lion, out like a lamb’ cliché. I look forward to the warm weather again.”
“See, and no one died. If you guys start thinking about your April answers, maybe you won’t find it so grueling.”
“And Frank, you suck. Did you just lose to Sara by 27 points?”
“Best two out of three?”
