What do you do with the two days at home that were planned for the ski retreat that got cancelled because of a snow storm? What do you do with the overnight off-sight leader retreat that you can’t carry out because of treacherous travel conditions? What do you do with a Wednesday and Thursday when all your plans and appointments have been scratched out by the coldest temperatures anyone in this city can remember?
It feels like a hidden cost of this weather, all the decision-making effort it’s requiring.
One thing I’m going to do is look for a story I once read that described how many genes polar bears need to hibernate — and how humans share something in the 90th percentile of those genes. I’m usually amazed by such reports… today it’s more amusing to think about hibernating.
