    Dear seller from whom I ordered my stats book:
    Please give me the actual ship date (because I doubt you shipped it an hour after I placed the order) and the tracking information? I sort of need this book so I can do the homework in it...

    Dear friend:
    No, liquor does not have "zero calories".

    I suppose it does if you get drunk and vomit up enough calories to make up for the calories consumed......

    Personally I consider this a GOOD thing I've suffered through several "typical" Indiana winters with tons of snow and lots of cold temperatures, so am happy to get a "southern" winter for a change. Yay for La Nina! This is, so far, very much like a Tennessee winter - bitter cold for a few days, snow for a few days, warm for a few days...let's just skip the amount of ice and ice storms that is also part of "southern" winters...

    I am actually surprised at how happy I am with this weather, but it means our bodies never get a chance to adjust to winter. However, I get to plan outdoor rides for Friday - Sunday, and to be able to do that in January is just plain awesome!

    Amen sister!!! I am loving this winter, it's going to be 53 tomorrow!! After the last two winters of being iced in by the first week of December, I'll take it.

    Catrin, I agree, I wish my body could acclimatize to winter. It was freezing yesterday and the day before and I, too will be riding outside tomorrow and Saturday, in January. I so want to be on my x country skis, this is killing me. I need a mental break from riding, so I feel fresh in March. It's not like I am a racer, or anything, but I look forward to focusing on something else.

    It's just you.

    I actually think we have had fewer strong windstorms than usual.

    Poor timing for me, though. I'm getting over a cold, so I've got the hyper-reactive airway thing going.
