If you have a kid, like trains, gingerbread houses or holiday plants, check out Olbrich Garden's in Madison.

Check out the detail on this Gingerbread house.

Grady watches as the train stops in front of him.
Luke was super excited.

Snow!
Our thoughts differ on the recent snowfall most of the Midwest received. Hillary, of course, was delighted to have a snow day. Meanwhile my thoughts can be summed up like this...
After putting in a normal nine hour day, I came home for a couple hours before heading back into work for the night. While grabbing some video in front of the station, I decided to put my feelings into words.
Yes, we are the Weather Authority. No, I don't know what higher power decided that.

This was around 5am as the plows made their first of multiple attacks on the snow in the station parking lot.
Mid-morning the snow was still falling but had started to slow.
This about sums it up.
I arrived home around 1pm. The good news our friends, Paul and Bryson, had snow blowed our driveway while I was working. Thanks Guys! The bad news, Sun Prairie had yet to touch our street. (They still haven't as of 6pm.) I got stuck about a 1/2 block from home. Again, much thanks to some neighbors, Paul and Phil for digging out my stuck car.
Hillary and Grady look out just before I raked the roof and shoveled the deck off.
What age do children make for worthwhile snow movers?
There it is after somewhere between 12-19 inches of snow... a shoveled deck.

Actually the car he chose off the top of the cake was covered in black icing.
