Today I was wondering where all the neighborhood kids were, as I shoveled at 7:00 am-- later than usual: the joys of my job allow me to telecommute on occasion, and this seemed like a good occasion-- not only am I fat and out of shape, the one neighbor has a heart condition, and an enterprising youth would find plenty of opportunities to earn a few bucks. There are piles of kids around here, and they all came out to play after I was done.
I played "mean old man" and told them to quit playing on my freshly cleared walk: they had the whole block at their disposal, and they chose to run and kick snow where they had just watched me shovel. Grump, grump, grump. Here's an old picture of my wife doing some shoveling (she volunteered!).So I sent out the gmail invites, and I hope you will sign up (did I mention it's free?) and join me-- it gets kinda lonely here by myself. Tell us what you're up to. And invite some more grads. The more the merrier.

This is what the comments look like. Originally I set it so only "team members"-- members of the group-- could post comments. That seems to be kind of restrictive: what if a friend or classmate happens by and wants to comment?
The down side is, we may get spammed. It's everywhere, yes; but I'll keep an eye out and we'll see what happens.
