What do you do when you're snowed in under 16 inches of snow? Eat and play board games!
However, the only board game in my apartment is a custom Monopoly set from the 1970s. Back in the day, my maternal grandparents owned a store called Fox's Discount in Sunnyside, a neighborhood in Queens, NY.
The Sunnyside Chamber of Commerce made up this board game featuring local businesses, including my grandparents' store.
It was a fun day of chocolate, homemade pasta and brutal Monopoly playing. Apparently, people get competitive when there's fake money on the line. Though I played tough, traded astutely and uttered some truly intimidating smack talk, I was overcome by some obviously more skilled investors. I don't think I have a future in real estate.
At any rate, it was a lovely diversion from the snow piling up outside...
Who says Washington, DC doesn't get snow?

No one. No one, in the history of the world has ever said that.
