So someone obviously heard my voice and decided to name the storm- "Jonas" arrived Saturday morning and snow was already knee deep for Taiyo at 9 o'clock in the morning. I've already told my staff at SOY not to come in on Saturday, since they were coming from Brooklyn and New Jersey. And Jonas was upon us and the scaffolding for the building didn't prevent the snow from falling onto my sidewalk. I still had to shovel every hour. We walked around the neighborhood a few times in beautiful new snow. Taiyo was so excited because it was truly the lldeepest snow ever for him! Dogs and kids were happiest everywhere, and even for adults- as long as we don't have to go to work and it's before the messy reality kicks in.

Hope it's just Mercury Retrograde. It feels like things are going wrong left and right for me this year. Even from the end of last year. I woke up with a pink eye in Florida a few days before New Year. Since then, I'm having waves of little disasters one after the other. Every few days. I would not go into details because it would depress me. Probably Mercury Retrograde, right? So it should pass soon. Maybe with the blizzard it will pass. And now yes, we awaits for the blizzard. Do blizzard get a name, like a hurricane? I don't think so. Why only hurricanes get to have a name? In Japan hurricanes(or typhoons rather) only gets numbered. "Typhoon number twelve is reaching Tokyo by midnight... " as such. I think the naming in the US makes them a bit more drama, like we have to face some evil old lady. Anyway, Amelia Island, Florida was so fantastic. That's all I wanted to say.
