49 Out of 50 is Pretty Compelling
by Steve West on January 13, 2011

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?

This year, I need to adopt or at least rent a dog so I can dress it like this for Halloween. Holy Kibbles & Bits Or this... Go »
Lauren Peeks Into Imelda's Closet
Lauren is at Summer Camp until tomorrow and while she was gone, I sent her a card. It's become traditional for the card to be "shoe-themed". This year, the outside of the card featured a picture of the president awarding her a prize. Go »

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