I would have used the word "da*n" but as you know, I am on that campaign to rid the airwaves of the seven words you can't say on TV until last October. Yesterday, Michael Powell, chairman of the FCC, asked his fellow commissioners to overturn the ruling that lets broadcasters allow programs with the "F" word and other salient obscenties to be used as adjectives (can you imagine your fifth grader coming home and telling you, "Mom, did you know you can use "F" as an adjective, like "great?" But I digress...) In a related story, Rep. Ose of California is introducing legislation to permanently block obscene words from TV.

But, back to the cold. Here in Rhode Island, it is 2 degrees F, with a wind chill of -12 F. Jane has had it, and says "We?re all going to go into an advanced stage of rigormortis, planted to the pavements in little Boston statues." That makes a good environment for those penguin pets I wrote about a couple of days ago. And guess what, I left my car outside last night (I do have a garage, now full of snow as the door was open) and I need to go to the post office this morning to mail reunion invitations. And I'm out of chocolate. Those remote car starters seems like a really good idea now. Yikes, the reunion is getting closer, 58 or so days I think.

Cool site: I used to believe. A collection of childhood beliefs, wonderful to read. Hmm maybe I shouldn't say "cool" site on a day like this.

I am struck by the beautiful web sites I have come across by blog skipping, literally clicking on links in blogrolls to take you from one to another. I'll summarize my travels some day.

Have a "warm" day!
