What's Going On ...

Its 26 here and there's ice all over the place...our deck, yard, cars, roof, streets...The dog is going bananas, she's full of her usual morning energy, but she doesn't want to go outside to run it off...so she's been gnawing on my legs and arms - essentially taking all her enery out on ME...she's starting nipping us, like a pinch...ouch...Rememeber all my fine Northern Friends - we don't have salt trucks, no snow plows, no chains on our tires, when it freezes and ices here - our city shuts down...the roads are impassable...I know you laugh, and that's ok - we are used to your ridicule..I too, once laughed at the local Texas goombas who got excited to see snow (it snows here on average every 11 years, I've since found out), growing up near Chicago, it snowed a LOT...so now, as a Texan who's lived here for 28 years, I merrily go along with the crowd and stay iced-in with my neighbors...

ok, time to clean the house for my guests arriving tomorrow and I'll be back..I have things to tell you! Like, you should go learn more about John Lennon here...I didn't realize he was only 40 when he was killed...I was a junior in high school when it happened, we were talking about it in Trig class the next day...I was and still am a huge Beatles fan, but Paul was always my favorite...I used to watch the Beatles cartoon when i was little..i think that's where my first real love of All Things British must have developed...I'm am a complete Anglophile, I simply adore Britain and everything about it...
