Forty-nine out of fifty states currently have snow on the ground from recent snowfalls. Guess which state is the only one without snow. That's right, Brenda. It's Florida.

Only one more reason we should move to the Sunshine State. Are you listening to me?

Brenda looked over my shoulder once to see what I was reading that made me chuckle. I told her it was an off-color joke involving the number 68. As it happened, she noticed that this joke appeared on page 68 of the book I was reading. Go »Turn Left At Alpha Centauri

Tonight, I momentarily felt a cold draft coming from the pet door that leads to the lanai.
That's about it.
