It's 7 here, north of Syracuse. Not sure about the wind chill, but I'm not going outside to check either.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
BBC News has a bit on Obama bringing in a new Camelot. The headline reads "Obama echoes JFK's Romance. I figure they mean the romance with the public, because I am trying to figure out how I think Michelle Obama might react if she found out her hub had a series of playboy-style extramarital affairs. I think the words "His Ass Handed to Him" figure prominently.

Now tagless for your comfort.
So far this morning, we've played with Moon Sand, glued random shapes onto construction paper and are now eating animal crackers & milk, Owens reading a book and Liv is watching Backyardigans.
It may warm up enough to venture out to the gym.

I'm at work today. I'm very happy about this. Tonight, barring major emergencies, I get to pick up my cat. Tomorrow will bring what tomorrow brings. I hope all the buffistae dealing with sub-zero temps find a way to stay cozy today.

Yeah new cat!
Today was supposed to be my run around and get last minute things done day. I guess not! I had a nice dinner with friends last night, but had 3 beers. I kind of overslept and feel very gronk this morning.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Those penguins were in mortal peril, man. I was trying to save them. Well, save me from watching them die. I think their actual fate was sealed before I hit play.
Wait wait wait wait WAIT... are you suggesting that yelling at the characters on screen does NOTHING?!?!?!

Well, Biden would get the chance to see if he could beat Bush's record of putting his foot in his mouth.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
That BBC Obama article has this, so they know that "romance" doesn't apply in the literal sense:
Whereas Jack Kennedy was a "playboy president" - his time in office has been labelled the "thousand days," but is almost as noteworthy for its "thousand nights" - Mr Obama exhibits an almost monastic self-discipline.
I'm guessing we're not going to have any intern nonsense going on in the Oval Office this time around.
