Big V Mumbles About Something

Well, good news everyone. The car wasn't happy about it but it started on the third time it rolled over. I think I heard it make a snide remark about my ancestry but it started and stayed running. Hurray! The water had frozen up as well and we finally coaxed it to dome back aboard about 5PM, just in... Sign in to see full entry.

Sweet Mother of Pearl Bodine (Mother of Jethro Bodine)!!! It was 22 below zero last night. Our pipes froze up but we have them beginning to gurgle now and hopefully I'll be able to shower soon. I hate not being able to shower first thing in the morning! It's nearly noon and I haven't had the courage... Sign in to see full entry.

Another night that is expected to be at least ten below or worse. Welcome to winter in the north lands! I spent several hours at the hospital with my wife today. She is breathing better and her fever is down to about 101.2 which is a marked improvement over the 104+ temp of yesterday. Depending on... Sign in to see full entry.

This was a long time favorite of mine because it is the truth. i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) i am never without it (anywhere... Sign in to see full entry.

At 7 AM, I woke up to make sure our water hadn't froze shut (it hadn't) and looked at the local weather station to get the 'official' temp. -16. Who ordered this crap? Add to the joy of that, we had a prevailing northern wind that just made it all seem even worse. Besides the fact that nearly... Sign in to see full entry.

Now I'm a lifelong fan of the Detroit Tigers, having listened to games on the radio since I was four or five (waaaay back in the mid to late 1950's!). I remember the years of having a great season only to end up second to the "M&M Boys" (dat's da Yankees for you non fans). I remember Al Kaline,... Sign in to see full entry.

I had a meeting to attend tomorrow about writing but they just called to tell me it would be postponed. Now I've been busy writing all day and while I had heard the weather forecasts, I hadn't looked outside. Hmmmmm... four inches of new snow since 3PM EST, a 15 to 20 mph wind which makes for...
