And to think that just before last week Jay was complaining about the
television weathercreatures and their breathless Storm Watches. When
they saw that, Jay, they ganged up on you and arranged for ten days of clag.

...and the temperature is plummeting...

ARRGGGGHHHH!

Had the day off, too...

I *have* considered that this is revenge of some sort...

You really should talk to your boss about getting some more days off. She
is driving you way too hard, man!

That's the problem -- me and "The Boss" like to fly together.

Which means paying people to staff the hotel while we're punching holes in
the sky.

Which, in January, is pretty stupid, financially...

But Sunday afternoon is looking like a "go" at this point! :-)

We hope to catch up later today. The sky here is crystal clear, the winds
are calm -- and the temperature is 2 degrees above zero!

By noon, I hope it will be in the teens. And if this is a wide-spread
phenomenon, we'll be heading to Janesville, WI (JVL) for a late lunch!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
