Administration announced a two-hour delay for this morning, Monday, December 2, 2013. We got a few inches of snow yesterday and last night, and the plows are still in action. I will see you all around 9:15 at school.
On an unrelated note, this is the 209th anniversary of the crowning of Napoleon Bonaparte as the Emperor of France. Driven by a brilliance matched only by his ego, the 35-year-old tactician had already taken control of France, and aimed to increase his holdings throughout Europe. Unwilling to let Pope Pius VII actually put the crown on his head, Napoleon took it from the old pope's hands and crowned himself.
So while you are enjoying your morning off, think of another morning long ago, when a young general took control of a country, and nearly took control of an entire continent.
