Oddly, it's actually HOT in Central PA right now after having been cold as winter for awhile. As sudden big temp changes play hell with my allergies, I'm trying hard not to get sick. As far as snow goes...it looks nice on Christmas cards and no one has to shovel it there. The sky can keep it as long as possible as far as I'm concerned. But it's the PA sky, so I hope it didn't hear that...just kidding, sky old buddy...

Had a little trouble with the "growing up" part, but I think I'm doing it now, and proud of it.

I liked the list.

What I liked even better was Ponytail's siggie which, at first glance, I read as:
...the unmade bed keeps whispering, "What if?"

I like that way better.

Cap'n--almost certainly. Keep in mind that this is a land where some people use cream of mushroom soup as a spice. If you ever wander here, keep a local with you at all times or you could become Scandinavian by injection.

If unable to start a conversation with someone in Minnesota, Wisconsin, or Iowa, simply nudge the person and say: "so....gitcher deer?" 90% of the time this will break the ice and quite possibly get you invited "home ta meet the family". Which unless the person doing the inviting is obviously intoxicated or possibly "packing heat", will almost certainly be 100% safe.

That reminds me of a line from Dory Previn's song, "Beware Of Young Girls" (about her "best friend" Mia Farrow, who snatched Dory's husband Andre):

she admired my unmade bed...

However, that didn't happen in Pennsylvania.
