First snow day of 2012 on MARY WHALEN, Chiclet asks for help shovelling the deck!

Soon after that, I sent an email blast out to volunteers for help shoveling at
3pm. Chiclet asks for help!
I did that rather last minute, I
know, but I wasn’t on the ball vis a vis work yesterday. It was my birthday and day
13 of a cold, two different excuses for being a dingbat.
Before shoveling, I'm relishing the cozy delights of snow day: Irish
oatmeal with currants on the diesel stove.

thank you Jenny!
Here’s a snow day shot from 3
years ago, a stove multi-tasking, heating
up the shovel so I can wax it and warming soup at the same time.
This is also a sign of progress! In 2008, the fidley deck had not been
repainted yet (note the peeling paint on floor) and we were using an
old shovel with a taped handle (it was a classic though), and now we
have mod
Canadian shovels with plastic blades and carbon fiber handles. Come use
one
today! Stevedores will start plowing the pier next to the ship sometime after 1pm and deck shoveling starts at 3pm!
After that, I've invited people to join me at Montero's Bar at 6pm and raise a glass in honor of bar founder Pilar Montero who passed away at 90 this week and celebrate her and the great place she created.
