Another Round of Snow

It snowed again today, another 4". Wow, the winter is starting out with a bang. And, it's supposed to get very cold over the next few days, below zero at nighttime. That's one thing I could do without. Plus, all of the extra salt and sand in the garage is really messy. Yuck.

We went to the Nutcracker ballet tonight. Previously. after attending the Legend of Sleepy Hollow ballet (before Halloween), I vowed to never go to another ballet again. But, my wife and daughter wanted to go, and I agreed to buy the tickets. However, we almost didn't go afterall. We got into a huge family fight before going, and I practically ripped up tickets right in front of them. Then, my wife said she wasn't going to go, and I walked out with my daughter in tow. My daughter and I went to dinner without her. After dinner, I called her one last time to see if she wanted to change her mind. She reluctantly agreed to go.

So, we attended the ballet in angst, but I'm not sure if anyone in the family really enjoyed it, considering our fight. It was a nice show though, but I still really don't get ballet. I guess I just don't have the artsy gene in me. There were a lot of other guys there, and for the most part, they seemed to be really into it. The music was nice, but that's about as much as I got out of it.
