Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

How big a stack of amps do you need to be able to split wood with your axe?

It's only happened twice now in 5 yrs, but I'd prefer to avoid climbing on the roof as much as is possible.

I think it's safe to say that none of us want you climbing on your roof!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It's cool that you do it, though.

My desire to stay off the roof has more to do with preserving the surface and not having a NEED to go up there than anything else.

I spent a lot of time on the sloped roof of my childhood home (climbing trees to get there!)

Ha, Tom, maybe mythbusters needs to tackle this one.

Also, now? Falling ladders.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I would like to both change into pajamas and get under the electric blanket, but I'm waiting on a delivery. He called at 12:30 and said it would be half an hour.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! I need to bundle up and go to Walgreens, but then I'm staying in pajamas at home the rest of the day.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Happy birthday shrift!

It's just cold and sunny here. I kinda like it. I mean, I wouldn't want to be camping right now, but for short walks and such it's quite nice.

I've been at work a little over a day and a half this week. That's plenty, right?

I hope everyone dealing with the storm comes through with minimal damage to themselves and their property.
