Click on 'Go Advanced' and you can edit your title. I think.
And what winter? It's been above zero for weeks here. I want some freaking snow.

Happy Groundhog Day

I don't mind at all. I like Winter.

Sweet! Thanks. Yeah, that's true. I just have a feeling we're going to get 6 more weeks of 'winter' weather, which in this case means grey skies and blehness. I either want it warm, or I want it snowing. The last 10 winters or so have been pathetic.

Six more weeks? I'm still waiting for winter to start! It's been too warm lately.

Heh, who else can go for some flapjacks?

Please post pictures of your trip (oops, sorry, not any PERSONAL ones). I really would love to see San Antonio, but the wife has no desire.

Congrats on your special day.
