Life is short - Live dangerously.

A quick spin through the old blogroll this morning finds a lot of folks none too happy about the current deep freeze. Well, except this nut case. She loves it. Dare I even link to my current forecast? Sure why not - you can take it!

When talking with my mom the other day about the cold in Michigan, I mentioned that it had gotten a little chilly here too. “Chilly? Tell me what’s chilly…” she said in that ‘you’ve got to be kidding me’ tone… I sheepishly mentioned that it had dipped into the 60’s and we’ve been running the furnace at night. Brrr. Nothing like a roaring fire and warm fuzzy sweater to take the edge off 52º!

Ooh, look at the time - I gotta go!

I have a significant troika happening right now that prevents me from surfing or generally enjoying being online that much:

1) Major Job is going through prepress at the moment. Much proofing and tweaking and driving back and forth across town on the spur of the moment.

2) House Renovation: I’m putting in a minimum of 5-6 hours a day across the street.

3) My inability to stay awake after 6:00pm.

I’ll update soon - I swear!

In the mean time, check out the new radio spots from Skyhigh Airlines.
