Out on a business trip for a week. Had a blizzard at home. Wife emailed me a pic of the snow along with a pic of each of our girls. Just a one line caption for each pic. No greeting or salutation. Didn't inquire as to how I was doing. Didn't say how she was doing either. I thanked her for the pics and encouraged her to call for snow removal instead of doing it herself. No reply.
Texted her that I would like to talk to the girls sometime and to have them call me. Response was a simple "ok".
This promises to be a long, cold, and dark winter.
