    Do any of you Southerners want to adopt me?

    Just until May. Then I'll go back home.

    Just for fun, here's a picture of the snow in front of our house which is now officially one Ford Escape high.

    You are welcome in my home anytime. Sadly I am not that far south in Ohio but I may be the only memeber your husband would not be concerned about an extended stay. Or we could stay at my new BF's house. He is restoring the family estate. The home has 29 rooms and is 9,500 sq ft. Of course we might be asked to help clean.

    Here's the backyard. The ground is about two feet down from the floor level. The snow is about a foot higher than the floor level. You do the math.

    Does the estate have a pool?

    Hey Bill, according to the news it was the same storm, but you got rain and we got a crazy amount of snow. I'm just north of Toronto. I guess I shouldn't complain though, evidently, Ottawa got about 72cm...about double what we got. Yikes!

    Speaking of Ottawa (and to make this post music related), I'm spinning the latest Jim Bryson release, where the bungalows roam, which I picked up on the weekend. Some very nice alt. country songs on this CD. It was a long wait for this CD. His last release The North Side Benches was released in 2003. I suspect that this new disk will become as much of a favourite of mine as "Benches" is.

    I could adopt you, but then you'd have to call me Daddy.

    No snow here. Just a few hours with no power. We dug out a few candles, the old Sony radio, an extra blanket and started some alternate recreational activities.

    JM,
    If wifey and I came to visit you and your BF, would you guys let us stay in the same room at night?

    What makes you think that JM would want you and your wife in the same room as him?

    That's why I'm asking instead of assuming.

    Yes you could stay with each other. I would not want you to observe BF and I because if you tried any of our techniques you might sprain something.

    snork, No doubt Kex...no doubt.

    Autumn, you wouldn't want to come down here. The weather is just...stupid. We've had a week of freezing hail (damaging cars and homes), rain, and sixty degree weather and back again. It's been worse to the south 'round where BOXMAN lives.

    Of course this weather effects the population in a predictable manner.
    So, I broke into the palace

    She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

    (Self congratulatory pat-on-the-back)

    Notice how I steered clear of wholly inappropriate direction in which GM and JM were headed...

    ...but I love it when you call me Big Poppa.

    You have been on your best behavior of late, maybe I should follow your lead.

    The non-frozen hail is called "rain".

    I suppose no one really wants to me to tell them that I am sitting here with the windows open and a fan going.

    But they are and it is.

    The red buds and the bradford pears are covered in blossoms and it is springtime in the Carolinas.
