This afternoon, I stood in my living room looking out the windows at the snow falling, and I actually thought about praying for guidance. I don't know who I'd pray to. In fact I think the whole concept is a little silly.

The thought of people who ask for spiritual guidance and then have epiphanies that revolutionize their life had popped into my head. I can see some of the appeal in that.

I wish it would snow more. And stick this time. When there's heavy snow, everything is silenced. I'd like some of that. I wish I could bottle it and keep it for noisy days.

I think I'd have to save up a lot though. I've had lots of noisy days lately.
