Brrrrrrrrr.....

I've been reading about the early, heavy snowfall they're getting up in Buffalo and other spots around the Great Lakes.

Some military friends of ours, having finished a stint in Honolulu, just last month got posted to Fort Drum, New York, which is even farther upstate and - according to my parents, who lived in Rochester for many years (where I was born, btw) - makes Buffalo look like Tampa in comparison.

I sure pity them right about now.

Meanwhile, it's a beautiful, cool day here in Northern Virginee. We're supposed to drop to the mid 30's tonight. The six year old has an 8:00 AM soccer game tomorrow. When I'm standing about griping about the cold, I'll remind myself it could be a whoooole lot worse.
