"Missing TX yet, DC?"

Heck! If I found myself in MN, I'd be missing D.C.!

(D.C., the District of Columbia, is a little chunk of my home state of Maryland (MD), that was donated to be the Nation's Capital. Another chunk on the Virginia (VA) side, they got back.

It's probably too late for us to get our piece back. Besides, look what a mess they've made of it!)

23 balmy degrees, no snow or ice. I heard at the speech tournament Tom’s doing that the schools from Asheville couldn’t get here because of snow.

Tom’s efforts are going well, I think, comparable with some of the other competitors I’ve seen. I had to keep taking Frank out to the halls because he wanted to yell, “Bub, bub, Bubba!” while people were reading. Once I had to let him bite my finger with his two pointy teeth to keep him quite for a few minutes ;-).

Tom has three more rounds tomorrow, and eventually we’ll find out if he’ll be in semifinals. Since I don’t know how many people that includes, I don’t know what the chances are.

They have made the D of C look like a bad cartoon drawing!

I remembered DC complaining about the heat in TX a few months before he moved north.

Seasons each have a beauty to them, no matter how ...hot, cold, wet, dry, etc.
