Happy Valentine's Day

I wonder if they read my daily postcards. That's kinda the fun, that somebody could. I'll be doing a stack of weddings for that day. One Vietnamese girl has to give us her "birthdate" in 1964. That's all they had for her there, but supposedly the U.S. assigns one an arbitrary date for our purposes. Difficult to explain that to her with the language barrier. Anyhow, Happy Valentines everybody. Barack Obama speaks here in Janesville tomorrow at the GM plant.

Belay on!

I just wanted to say that again. I saw 3 ropes courses that looked pretty inviting in yesterday's face-freezing weather. 6 inches more snow tonite?

To Matt

I don't know why my comment didn't post, but it was Whitewater, the east end of downtown, north side of the street, in the old movie theater. I believe it's still there. Janesville Y's is also nice. Let me know.

UNCLE STEPHEN...

Where is that place you used to take us rock climbing? I want to say that it was indoors. Whitewater?

Snowbound

Beloit got 21" according to the National Weather folks, + I went in to find the courthouse closed for the first time since I've been here. It was fun to see so few cars on the road. But today it wasn't the1,000 cars stranded on I-90 but the sleeping drivers who jammed it for 19 miles northbound, southbound was flying. Laura went very well, but I'm quite happy to be done with it. There was a teenager in the play who is one of the few cryptic crossworders I know. He was ecstatic to get a ton of puzzles from me. I believe Em + James continue to enjoy theirs. Dom + I meet up in the Dells tomorrow for a church retreat, so I'm pigging out at on the whole hog sausage at the annual Turtle Township pancake breakfast early. Hopefully it will cause me to sleep on the bus. I'll be glad somebody else is driving in all this crap!
