We got our first snow of the season last night. It was the second winter storm, but the first one had mixed precipitation and just left a slushy mess on the ground. This one was snow from start to finish. We only got about three inches, which isn’t a lot, but it covered everything in…
We had a very satisfying snow today. It feels like it’s been years since we’ve had one. Given that so many people wrongly believe that they don’t like snow, I thought it may be worthwhile explaining what makes a snow satisfying. For starters, there has to be enough snow for it to be a satisfying…
I’m angry. That’s not something you’ll hear me say very often. I don’t do anger well at all. I put myself through some pretty crazy contortions to avoid being angry. If you were to walk up to me, slap me across the face with your gloves, and say, “You, Gene Glotzer, are a horrible excuse…

I just finished shoveling my driveway and I have to say, I love snow. It should snow every day. It’s strange. Shoveling is more work than most household chores, but I kind of like doing it. It’s definitely my favorite chore. There’s a real sense of satisfaction when it’s done. When you finish the laundry…
A while back, I wrote a post about an incident involving former Major League Baseball player and current ESPN analyst Doug Glanville and the West Hartford Police Department.
