I had commented on Saturday about the lack of kids knocking on your door to help with your shovelling needs. So, on Sunday, it starts to snow again. I had this internal debate about 3:30 yesterday on whether to leave Eagles-Vikings early or try and fit shovelling in between the end of that game and the start of Pats-Colts.

Then there was a knock. It was a kid. With a shovel. With the Angel of True Temper smiling down on me, I said, "How does $10 sound?" He said, "OK." Hopefully, he comes back on a non-football day when I can really use the help.
