When we were in school, there was no greater joy than a snow day. Obviously! Sledding and snowball fights and igloos and no school. What could be better?
Maybe when I was in middle or high school, we had a huge blizzard. You had to stay home from work, and we were all a little bored.
You then had a brilliant idea. A Billy's cheeseburger. You were, typically, so excited about this prospect. Mom declined to come, but you, Amy, and I walked downtown. I was so surprised that you thought it was OK to bring us there. Billy's was (and is) a bar!
It turned out there was a dining room in the back. We - the three of us - ordered bacon cheeseburgers. I remember you loved yours, loved pigging out like that in the blizzard. You almost certainly said something like "now, this hits the spot."
To this day, I think cheeseburgers are blizzard food. Wish we could have one together today!
