Author Topic: Merry Christmas Gracia L. Babbidge Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 709 From: Bowdoin, Maine Registered: Aug 2000 posted 12-25-2002 09:27 PM                        Yeah - many wishes for mirth and merriment to all! Hmm... I did have to work today ... but only until 6PM. It wasn't super-slammin' busy, but the parking lot was far from empty (and no one else in the same 'mall' - except for maybe the bar, bothered to open today)... When I left, the snow was pounding down pretty hard. Yes, people were rash enough to still be showing up to see movies in a freaking blizzard! What should have been a 25 minute drive from work to my folks' house took me nearly an hour! >_< But hey - it is a White Christmas at least! ^_^ Hope that everyone had reason to smile at least once today!  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-25-2002 10:05 PM                        We had a very nice crowd tonight, at least 5X better than the typical Wednesday, so definitely worth being open. (We were closed Christmas Eve.)  |  IP: Logged Barry Martin Expert Film Handler Posts: 203 From: Newington, CT USA Registered: Jul 2002 posted 12-26-2002 04:34 AM                        Scott said: quote: We're getting a nasty snowstorm here, with probably 4-5" downtown (I don't feel like going outside to measure), with more on the way. It is a very good evening to stay home.... You said it Scott! I love our "Nor'easter" storms though. I really do wish I was alive in 1978 when we had that wonderful blizzard. It looks to have just about stopped now and really didn't start picking up here until about 4pm I think. By the looks of it we got (Beverly) about 6-8", at least judging from my fire escape. By looking outside I just completely fell in love with my landlord again, realizing I have no shoveling or salting to do. So Gracia, did it end up being a blizzard up there? I know there was a warning, and you guys usually get worse than we do. Happy Holidays all, whatever they might be.  |  IP: Logged Gracia L.

Whee! While I was alive in '78, I don't recall the blizzard - I was an infant! ...I do however remember in '83 the winter brought enough snow such that it was as deep as I was tall! That is to say when I was walking in paths my dad had shoveled you could only see the top of my hood from my snowsuit - and somewhere my parents still have pictures to prove it! As for this round of snow - I am quite glad that my car is all wheel drive!  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Maybe on the return trip I'll try again. Merry Christmas to all, and by the way, it is cold up here in North Dakota...  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-27-2002 01:40 PM                        Christmas Eve was quiet, with the family together exchanging presents. Then "Midnight" Mass (actually 10:00pm) in our 100-year old small-town church. Christmas morning we awoke to about a foot of snow on the ground, and more large "lake effect" flakes slowly falling. Was like something out of Robert Frost or Currier and Ives. Christmas dinner plans were postponed until Sunday, since relatives couldn't safely drive from the Buffalo area. Yesterday, after digging out, my daughters got out to see "Catch Me If You Can" while I caught up on e-mail. I hope the year ahead is kind to all of us, with peace and harmony based on respect for one another, recognizing our common humanity, while cherishing our differences.  |  IP: Logged
