Has Condi announced she's leaving? If so, I sure missed it.

I missed it, too. This could be 'creative journalism' coming from the NY Slimes.

Hi Gran, Hi Mae -

It's hotter than heck here today - it stopped raining so I went out and pruned the rose bushes and clematis and cleaned out the dead stuff from winter. The lavender bush is budding out and trees look like they are thinking of leafing out. I'd almost forgotten what spring looked like. Now watch it turn around and snow.
