Now, don't start with me son. Mom sends her regards. You should visit sometime. Her I mean. And remember, she's a bit old fashioned - try not to talk about your 'stiffy' if you can help it. Yes, I know, she used to think it was cute, but it that was when you were five. ;-)

I'm patiently waiting for that six... Car's ready!

Cold!?! 66? I have to work naked when its that warm! (Supress that visual Mikey) Skline - check your thermostat! I was travelling last week out West and dropped into Calgary Alberta for a day. From the air, you could see ... white, everthing covered with snow. Got off the plane and the air had that really clean crisp feel and smell - not really cold - maybe 25deg F. Felt really nice and invigorating, I was kind of looking forward to it. Winter can be beautiful.
Got to the rental car booth and they warned me that the driving was bad and to be careful - Whaddaya think I am - Californian? - No sir, its REALLY bad. Ahh , first storm, everyone re-learning how to drive. Paid five extra bucks for a trailblazer and was glad I did. Flipped cars in the ditch, kids trying to push their slick-tired ricers stuck on level ground, and the worst - folks stopped going up a long hill and can go no further. The only way out is to make a U turn in front of the oncoming DOWNHILL traffic which of course can't stop...
Not looking forward to when it hits here and stays for four months and am getting really tired of trying to glass my Lotus in the cold.
Hawaii sounds good, except for the hockey.
