Impressive? Yes, but ... I must admit that I am conflicted when I can create animated sequences in a matter of seconds that would have taken skilled artists hours—or even days—to complete in the past. #GimmeGimmeGhibli

I have only spent five minutes online today, and already, this feels obligatory . . . The verdict? Well, I might not have my own epic Ghibli storyline anytime soon—but at least it is not giving #NPC. *Also, good morning! #GimmeGimmeGhibli

And now for the obligatory Monday morning snow photos from Northwest DC—along with one of my periodic proof-of-life selfies for my family in Texas. This "Texpatriate" will be staying indoors and off the roads today, and hopefully you will do the same, my fellow Washingtonians!
