Look out the window. Is it still snowy? Yes? Then you should call work and tell them you’re snowed in. Then you can enjoy the traditional snow day entertainment of the Northwest — watching the TV news to see cars sliding around like toboggans with no steering.

How to Have Style. A new book offers advice for regular women on how to step up their style. The author has suggestions for different scenarios, including style on a budget and style while traveling.

Wonder if he explains style options while wearing mostly fleece and jeans? That’d go over well in the Northwest. Or he could explain how to pull off an ensemble of two sweaters, a coat, a scarf and a hat. That would come in handy during Snow Globe ‘08.

Elephan-zeb-izard. Here’s a gift idea for a creative youngster. Get them a Mythmorphs and let them combine all the various pieces to create their own species of animal. This works equally well for either a future evolutionary biologist or mad scientist.
