Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

OK, so the weather outside is frightful...and you know the rest.

It is amazing how much Torontonians (myself included) bitch about the weather in the middle of winter. We are not buried under nine feet of snow like the Californians (http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0103CalStorm03-ON.html) , and I do not have to say anything about what is going on at the other side of the world. Still, we feel it is our right, nay our DUTY, to bitch and moan about how it is not like a balmy glade in Florida.

Well, stop your bitching folks! Unless you forgot, some dipstick long ago agreed to move our border to North of the 49th. We then decided to continue living here. As such, no bitching about the weather is warranted or allowed unless it does not follow predetermined patterns (which, I know, is an oxymoron in our neck of the woods.. just work with me).

OK, so weather aside, I had originally counted on being a little less social and a fair bit quieter and reclusive for 2005. It has not worked out that way from the get go. As it is, things got so busy that we had to cancel one commitment already to meet another (the little boy will owe me when he grows up). January is nearly filled and one weekend in February is already spoken for. Hell, we already have two long weekends in the summer already booked and our 1st anniversary that we are planning for. Whew. Living takes a lot of work.

Look for info later concerning our Lord of the Rings marathon session to be hosted at our house. Yep, you read it correctly; ten plus hours of Tolkein goodness! A Harry Potter, Freddy, Jason, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Star Trek, and Bond marathon are also in the works.

Geez. You're a geek and you don't know how to use TinyURL or how to use HTML Code so we don't have to see that ugly URL? :D -- MsM

Well, some of us are simply fringe geeks who bow to the born in the wool, full-fledge, binary for a middle name geeks like yourself.

As for HTML code, I just have not taken the time to play with it. Grew up with lazy web tools. Sue me. :-P
