Just got back from seeing The Decembrists, which is always cause for celebration. The Sweetie and I see them almost every time they play T.O., and they are always a delight. (No other band I know regularly uses words like panoply or avarice or attrition in their lyrics.) Tonight was no exception, even if they didn't play my favourite song from the new album. (I've actually started to vid that song, so I shall be coy and not reveal what it is. But hopefully there will be a Pros vid to it before too much time has passed.)

In celebration, have a pic of the band, doing their usual pseudo-historical, whimsical thing:

As we were leaving the concert, the snowstorm they've been promising us for the last two days was well into whipping itself into a frenzy. Fortunately we got home well ahead of any whiteouts. And in more exciting news, my employer has already declared tomorrow a snow day, so there will be much ~~skiving off~~ working at home happening tomorrow. (Ros is very excited that Mommy will be home for the day. I have a feeling there will be cookies baked at the very least. And possibly tobogganing done, if we can slog our way to the local hill.)
