It’s hard to believe Obama’s been president for 6 years. It feels like this neverending phantasmagoria of political horror has been unfolding for a decade or more.

It’s always my job to bring a phantasamagoria of a Valentine box for the classroom — all lace doilies, ribbons, and sparkles.

Sorry I am not sure how to post a valentine from my phone. Happy val day to you. My valentine gave me a card— I’m sure the Shari’s berries, lifesize Vermont teddy bear and hoodie pajama gram were held up due to weather ; )

Because that's not what a phone is for. It's for you to take naughty selfies and post them for us, in the spirit of the holiday.

Roads are clear in front of my house, bare road in fact. Melting already. Should be good traveling through NY. Just a little disconcerting to see more snow fluttering down.
