"Second in a series."

The temperature finally squeaked past the freezing mark today, making the piles of fluffy powder denser and wetter -- good for things like snowball fights and snowman-building. Today we did both.

Before going out there I had some lunch: broccoli-rabe and sausage were the leftovers from yesterday's dinner. I lightly toasted a ciabatta roll, sliced the sausage thin and heaped on the soggy greenery, then closed the sandwich and poured out a nice glass of Fortissimo wine.

Yummmmm. I believe it is that sammich that made me the invincible snowball-fight warrior that I was this afternoon. Pegged those chimpz real good... (and damn, am I gonna feel it in my throwing arm when I fall out of bed tomorrow).
