It's 15 below here as of 6:15 am. No time for depression as the cabin fever has taken complete hold.

It is the pit of winter, after all. Dark, cold, and raging cabin fever all conspire to destroy one's natural sunny optimism.

This morning the temperature dipped below freezing in the northern portion of the Tampa Bay region. The long-term inhabitants are whining because it is so cold, but at least they aren't shoveling sidewalks. They still seem spectacularly unimpressed with their good fortune.

Well, at least things will be better tomorrow. In fact, it is about this time of year that I begin to notice the lengthening of the daylight, the winter holidays [Christmas, New Years Day & MLK day] are past so work schedules become more regular and the kids are back in school and not under foot. January 24 ain't bad at all.
