It's much more comfortable than being out on the poorly insulated porch where the desktop is! Besides, the kids have discovered online cartoons so the desktop computer is pretty much off limits to me. :) The first cold snap always seems to hit hard, even harder when you actually have to think about keeping the house warm. I'm hoping things thaw just a bit this weekend. But, optimist that I am, I finally got all the cross country ski equipment together in the same place and I am having visions of a big family ski outing.

The first taste of temps near zero always steals the breath. I think it's pretty cool that we both had the same topic on our brains. :) We've got some classic snowstorms and snowy years to look back on, having been kids in the late 70s to mid 80s. I don't think we'll ever see snow and cold like we did a couple of those winters. Here's to putting together our collective good, winter wills and hoping for a good snow season! Thanks for the kind words!
