YE GADS
If you're anywhere in the Northeast, you know what I'm complaining about this week. It's crazy cold out there. I got paid yesterday, and was thisclose to plunking my entire check down at a travel agency and asking how far away it would get me. (Unfortunately, the answer would probably be Baltimore...) I've cursed the sun, which has been out all week, blinding me but offering no warmth whatsoever. I've cursed the Pilgrims; I still can't understand why, after the first winter, they didn't pack up and move the whole operation down to South Carolina.
But I've cursed most of all the Weather Channel guy yesterday morning, who said with a grim face, "In Orlando, better bundle up at the attractions. It's going to be in the low 60s." Yeah, that's rough.
And if anyone from WBZ-4 is watching this, why do you need your reporters out in the -45 degree temperature reporting LIVE! from a courthouse where the action's long over? Do you really think we care that they're on the scene? Just let 'em come in and give them a cup of cocoa for God's sake.

Those ear warmer thingies that I took, um, borrowed from you really work GREAT. We need to invest in another pair. They've got a website at http://www.arctic180s.com (Follow the link for the "ear warmers" top left). (Thanks to your aunt and uncle for the nifty xmas gift, eh?)
It's cool to see you posting again. Maybe you need to email your mailing list to let them know you're alive. Ha!
