Well, between now and then-then being escape Monday to Florida for 10 days-

My wife Theresa is graduating from UW-Madison-with honors-

we need to clean the house, do laundry, pay bills, get the food ready,

go to the graduation breakfast and commencement, throw her party,

pack for vacation, do Xmas shopping and send the cards out,

get Bear the wonderDachshund farmed out,

and then:

DIG OUT FROM THE SECOND STORM ON SUNDAY,

and get to the airport 3 PM Monday afternoon.

Oooookay.

Deck the halls.

Deck the darn halls.

My back is already killing me.

But I am still smiling, a slighty frozen smile.

Let a shovel be your umbrella!
