I'm supposed to row Saturday morning----17 degrees predicted. I think I'll pass. Cold and water are not a good mix.

If it was 18 here tomorrow, I might go out for a run. But really, it's not that bad. If you don't mind trying to walk around like the little brother in A Christmas Story, don't breath or have any exposed skin, you might not get frost bite! All I can say, is what a joy it was clearing 6" of snow off the driveway, wind chills in the -30s. Who the hell inhabited these places anyways? And why do I still live here? Since the economy is going so well, maybe I will look for a new job in Florida.

Good thing I'm on a plane to Phoenix tomorrow, Florida next week, California the week after. Who says Minnesota winters are bad? To keep this Gator related, Gator car flags will freeze at 18 below.
