There's Always the Weather
How 'bout them Steelers, eh? Heck of a...
Oh wait, I don't watch football. Only time I can be convinced to watch sports is if it a) is live and b) has someone playing whom I personally, even if only peripherally, know.
So. How 'bout that crazy weather? It's currently 19°F. Above zero. For those of you keeping track at home, that is a whopping 64° difference from twelve days ago when I got to stay home and hibernate.
I don't have to be plugging my car in. I don't have to be wearing my heavy parka or even zip up my jacket. I don't have to fear for my life at the prospect of a seven block walk. I don't even really have to be wearing shoes and socks, but I am.
Wait, why am I not wearing sandals again?
Addendum, 4pm: 34 frickin' degrees above zero. This is above freezing, people. It's this kind of weather that gives us eskimos* hope that winter will not continue forever, only another month or two.
*Caveat: While I am native to Alaska I am not an Alaskan Native. But that does not stop me from speaking for all eskimos, something I'm sure they appreciate.

7 Love Notes
Because while it's relatively warm, it's still below the point where you can develop frostbite on your feet.
You have no sense of adventure, JR.
19 degrees,that's a heat wave!It's warmed up to -10 below here and I thought that felt pretty good.
Sense of adventure, no check.
Toes, check.
Actually, i did the flip-flops, shorts, and hawaiian shirt in a full on blizzard thing once.
It's no where near the adventure you think it is.
regardless of B.A.C.
42.2F which means the dog poop all had to be picked up TODAY. Winter come back. This sucks.
After -18 for 2 days, the kids and I went sledding when it hit +4 - no hat. Today? +40 ! t-shirt, tennies wet, sweating profusely. But let's not forget the Feb.("Pussywillows will bud...")then, -30 to shock them back in 'til June. I like any weather, so bring me more SLEET! The schools AND military bases(snick!..)closed for the day due to "Icy conditions". Where ARE we - Cal?!
..and, what if the bad man comes..and our bases are ON VACATION!!..
