That's not how any of this works.

There is no snow in Boston right now.

It's like 52 here.

Christmas Eve will be 68 degrees! which sucks.

He had 'schlong' but can't remember the typo he made of it when he was first entering it. It's not 'shclong' at least.

No. 2 Son has a dorm room overlooking the Commons.

I only completely resent him a little.

Given He Who Must Not Be Named's recent comment, I believe the more appropriate sobriquet would be Barack the Impaler.

Not all that out of the ordinary down here in So. Ill. 1976 on Jan 3rd, I believe, it was like 74 degrees. A week later, it was in the 20's.

I would, but things to do aren't getting done, so, l8r.

43 I love that painting. I bought a set of Boston winter theme Christmas cards when I was a college student in the area and that was one of the paintings. I really enjoyed the sunsets and twilight on a cold, and clear winter day. The Hassam is at the Boston MFA.
