The bank thermo I pass on the way to work in the morning read 28 degrees yesterday at 5:00 AM. That stuff should be illegal. We’ve been suffering through a cold spell here as well.

Rain. A week of local stations being on "STORM WATCH" as rain approached us. I nearly wished I had worn a coat this morning, but I got over it. My sweater was adequate by the time I got to the office. I had to use an umbrella several times this week as well. It's not fit for habitation, this place. Oh God yes, Danny. Rain.

If I were in San Diego, I’d be happy! </i> Brian, yeah, that is one of the conversations I've had with my wife over the years. When she would explain why we should visit Hawaii, I'd respond with: "Hey, we have sun and ocean and sand here." But she says that it is different there. Way better. We'll see. My parents and brother and sis-in-law will be there too. So fun seems unavoidable. EDIT: Mary, you left out the most terrible part. We got... RAIN! {{shudder}} I can't wait to leave this godforsaken, wintery hell-hole that is Southern California. Danny, Hawaii?! If I were in San Diego, I’d be happy!

It was 34 when I left my house this morning and the highs don't get above 60 by mid afternoon. True, it causes terrible problems for the farmers, but from the way it's reported on the local news you'd think we were in the frozen north somewhere.

It sounds like you and yours will have a marvelous Christmas (the airport scene you describe sounds like a Hallmark movie I just saw) Danny, Hawaii?! If I were in San Diego, I'd be happy! - we expect a full report upon your return (especially including things that must be seen, for the day - if ever- that Pam and I make it out there) Meanwhile, the procession of holiday foods and sweets keeps showing up here at the office. Vendors send in all sorts of candies and cheeses and breads and meats and cookies and popcorns (I prefer caramel, but the cheese goes quickly); and we sort of graze Well Dorothy, what Sue said!

Ok, an extra hug. And it goes without saying that we'd all like to hear how it goes. Dorothy, I’m excited for you – I’ll give my son a hug on Sunday in honor of you and your son. Ok, an extra hug.

I could not recollect that song and I was too busy trying to wrap stuff up at work. But I just listened to Psychotic Reaction on Youtube and I definitely remember that song. Great song.

I’ll wear plaid Bermuda shorts, a white fruit-of-the-loom, crew-neck t-shirt and leather sandals with knee-high black socks. People will think I’m from the 70’s and that I’m there to mow lawns and drink Schaefer beer..." Minus the lawn mowing and the Schaefer and people will think you're English. Especially the socks and sandals bit. “…No, Jeff, I have it. I’ll wear plaid Bermuda shorts, a white fruit-of-the-loom, crew-neck t-shirt and leather sandals with knee-high black socks.
