good news: my car still works, despite having sat unmoved in my driveway since about 3 days before the snowstorm, and not having been shoveled out
better news: I learned this because I had to go to the bank to deposit my fantasy football winnings
more better news: I was also mailing out the final (for real, I think) edits of my book (the old one, not the new one)
bad news: in the interim, a big section of the siding on my house appears to have just fallen off. Next house will not be 90+ years old.
