We're home, safe n' sound! (Thanks for asking!) I think I picked up a bug along the way -- sinus headache, general achiness, and running a temperature. Oh well .... my plan is to lay low for a few days and hopefully this will pass quickly!

Any photo requests?

Thanks for the Detatchment Update! I hope you all can get out of the hotel and back into your home soon. I know you must feel a bit discombobulated...and darn! hotels get expensive!

Stay warm, dry and safe...that’s what matters!

Glad to hear you didn’t get any more snow.

This seems like it’s been a very long winter, and it’s only January.

It’s pretty bad when people talk about how much warmer it is when we reach 20 degrees!

Keep warm up there!

[TASMANIANRED]

I’ve got icecicles a yard long.

Slick as a snotty door nob out there.
