Not that I know of. But come to think of it, I could have been being watched.
Nah... that was like 50 years ago!

[Biciclista]

But Lisa, Ruby is more than 50 years old, really!

Saw the cutest thing on my way into work today, there's always this very old greyhound being walked along the street that carries it's leash in it's mouth as they amble along...today she was wearing an adorable bright red cape, she looked like SantaPooch!

[LBTC]

That's right!
If it's you, we'd say: "Hey, cut yourself some slack and don't expect so much of yourself- you have every right to take a little break over the holidays, it's GOOD for you!"
If it's one of your co-workers, we'd say: "Tell that lazy %$*))#$ to get off their totally LAME butt and pull their share 'cause it's causing more work for everyone else to take up their slack!"

Because that's the TE way.

Karen--long steamy shower and hot tea with lemon. Do you get to stay home today?

We have a snow day. It's somewhat irrelevant since I'll have to make it up later, but it's still nice. Even though there's only about two inches of snow. This is an improvement over yesterday's snow day, when there was NO snow in the Seattle area at all, not one flake (but plenty of snow just north and south of us). Meteorology here is a real challenge because of the different systems that interact from the north (cold air), west (marine air with moisture) and south (warm air). I had a long talk with a Cornell meteorology student a couple of years ago when they were making alumni fund-raising calls and she said they all always want to come out here to do internships because it's so interesting to try to understand the weather here. It was very funny.

I even talked my spouse into working at home today, which he can do some days. This would never happen in my home town of Albany, but here they just don't have the resources to clear the roads and they quickly become really dangerous. Not to mention the "I don't know how to drive in the snow" folks.

That's right, BSG---TE friendships are based on a heavy enabling factor! Gotta get that SOMEWHERE in life...

[Biciclista]

we're "stuck" home too! SNOW! whooopeee!!

[dex]

I tried to be responsible and go to work. I didn't make it past my driveway without falling down...twice. Looks like I'm staying in today.

[salsabike]

No falling allowed for you, Ms. Dex!!! How's your knee?

By the way, for anyone who cares about this: when the temps fell below freezing this week, I called the Wild Birds Unlimited store and said, hey, do you guys have any ideas for how I can keep my hummingbird feeders from freezing during the day? I can take them in at night, but it was cold enough in daytime for them to freeze also. And they said, yeah, we do--rubber band some of the little handwarmer pouches on the bottom. It works perfectly! My hummingbirds have been able to feed during this cold weather with no problem--the feeders stay unfrozen all day long.
