Hello, everyone--it's so darn cold here that we spend our time checking everything and it's a trial to shop and take care of the dog. Since I came back up here, we never had nine below. Today it'll be one below all day. Ronski's weather map in The Good Life was right on tract.

So, how are things with you?

Pretty cool Mago!
This weekend I went on a bus trip with my choir to Thônes in the Savoie. We were hosted by the local choir, very well received, much eating and drinking and singing of ribald songs. The concert was excellent, perhaps our best, in the church (very beautiful with excellent acoustics). It was recorded by the local radio, so we should be able to cut a CD of it.

Weather fairly mild, most of the snow has melted. I'm hoping for a bit more before next week, I'm taking the kids to a friend's place in the Hautes Alpes.

thanks, mags, wiz and j@h

My walk was a bit chilly this a.m. 5 deg at our house but fortunately, not too much wind. Still cold enough to freeze my scarf solid from the moisture in my breath and to ice up the brim of my wool hat.

I'll remember this come July when it's 99 and 99% humidity.

Nice and crisp and clear here. Around 50F, I'd imagine. Had to go to the doctor today. I'm back on my full allergy regimen with daily nasal steroid, weekly shots, antihistimine and decongestant. I hated it at the time, but I'm thrilled about going back to it. Not going off it again unless I move to a drier location. I walked a mile with Bob yesterday. I have class tonight, but I'm hoping to start walking at least "one round" (a mile total) with him now that my schedule is less hectic and I'm back on the allergy regimen.

Arky, 70 degress headed your way today!

21074. Magoseph - 2/7/2007 12:08:15 AM

70 degres?--Oh my, it's painful to think that I could be there right now visiting you, Keoni and my younger son.

21075. wonkers2 - 2/7/2007 12:36:06 AM

It's around zero in Detroit.

21076. judithathome - 2/7/2007 1:44:40 AM

Well, Magos, you'd have to wait for Keoni to get home from work. And I'm sure he'd do that early just because you were here...he adores you!

I met this lady who is completely daft, like me kinda

I am so hoping we will be friends. Time will tell.

21078. Ulgine Barrows - 2/7/2007 9:06:02 AM

And don't you go poking fun

I've lost more firegundis, it'd make anyone sick.

Doc in FL recommended needle biopsy,

My mom died from that.

21080. Ulgine Barrows - 2/7/2007 9:10:34 AM

I sure hope you and yours have a better doctor!

21081. Ulgine Barrows - 2/7/2007 9:14:49 AM

Or practioner. Whatever they're called.

I knew it was all a mistake when I saw they guy was in his late 20s. Hence the jokes about "practice" when doctors are mentioned.


You've seen the difference and it's getting wider every time.

21082. Ulgine Barrows - 2/7/2007 9:24:43 AM

On another note, isn't it a lovely day?

21083. thoughtful - 2/7/2007 3:42:49 PM

That's horrible, ulgine. I'm so sorry.

We're seeing the lung guy today and he'll decide whether we need that or not...the location of the tumor is such that they might be able to go via bronchoscope.

21084. thoughtful - 2/7/2007 4:48:11 PM

once in awhile i get to do something fun...just met with the art curator to discuss decorating a conference room we just had redone...just a pleasure.

Happy Valentines Day!



A pair of human skeletons lie in an eternal embrace at an Neolithic archaeological dig site near Mantova, Italy, in this photo released February 6, 2007. Archaeologists in northern Italy believe the couple was buried 5,000-6,000 years ago, their arms still wrapped around each other in a hug that has lasted millennia.

21086. judithathome - 2/7/2007 6:44:30 PM

That IS romantic...if a little gruesome.

21087. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 2/7/2007 7:04:16 PM

Skeletons aren't gruesome, they're the amazing inner structure of a remarkable chrysalis.
