Did you know that at -15 wind chill one's exposed skin will freeze solid

Sorry I'm a little grumpy right now.

does not float my boat.

Well, Theo, marital bliss does have its rough spots. What wouldn't float
my boat is being thought of as "the little woman." I don't think husband 1
or 2 ever did--they sure never had the guts to say it if so, hee hee! I'd
rather get myself off of the warm couch and get the damned door open
myself.

But I do miss my chief rosehole digger.


Buck up! Spring will be here in no time, and meanwhile you can always get
some snuggle time in.
