Ralph -

What exactly are you doing in the mailman?

All -

OK, I have been catching up this morning from the weekend run on my house
plans.  I have to say that I LOVE the way y'all went off on this here
tangent.  Anywho, once the last of the pissing cats is gone and we own a
piece of furniture that has upholstery and no pissy smell on it (sometime
this spring, what with the deliver lead time), I'm more than happy to have
everyone over.  Of course, you could show up now, in the cold, and the foot
or so of snow that's hanging around - more on that in a minute - and sit by
the fireplace on the stinking livingroom floor.  If nothing else, there's
enough room for about a dozen people to camp out in the room.

Now to the snow thing.  Last year, Rochester, NY (I'm 30 miles east of it)
had a record small amount of snow. Less than 2' for the whole season, and
they trucked snow in from Buffalo for an annual downtown event in February.
My husband thought "How come these bleeding yankees complain so much about
the weather?  Yah, it's more extreme than the UK, but it's really not that
bad."  This year, he's eating his words.  Rochester is back to normal with
58" of snow in November and December.  I haven't said, "I told you so" yet,
but I think he gets the picture.

Deb,

I'll go out right now (11:30 AM Sunday) and wait for the mailman in my
jammies. And no, the mailman is not, and will not be, in my jammies.  At
least not at the same time I'm in them.
