Here in Lexington KY it's a beautifully warm day. Go on my bike for the first time in a week (just to go the mile to church) and it felt great-- even tho I was dodging icy patches.

This afternoon I undertook to shovel out the sidewalks at my church. They're encrusted with more than 2 inches of ice, and this one warm day wouldn't be enought to get rid of everything, before more comes this week. So there I was, in my heavy winter boots, and shorts and a t-shirt, chipping ice... I think I've got a sunburn now-- from shoveling snow!!!
