E-mails, we get e-mails...

I got this e-mail from "B" this morning about my latest Father Knows Nothing column: "Good story in NWI about snow shoveling. I remember when we lived in Michigan in the early 70s. My dad made us three boys shovel our elderly neighbors driveway. My nine year old mind remembers it as a massive driveway the length of a football field. I'm sure it wasn't that big, but boy did it snow in Michigan in the 70s. I have no idea what happened to that elderly couple as we moved away in 1974, but I often think of them when I am digging out of yet another Nor'easter in New England."
