    Oh god I feel you. I walked about a mile today in 14 degree weather to our training facility. I literally thought my hands were going to fall off, it was awful.

    I can't quite see it - but I can read some of it, and it looks important! What is it exactly?

    In the meantime, a love for the James Bond movies has been ignited. I watched 'Diamonds are Forever' the other night, and was blown away. It's amazing compared to the new ones! I watched 'Dr No' tonight, and have 'From Russia with Love' waiting for me tomorrow.

    As for drinks - with gin and vermouth being two of my favourite alcohols, the Martini is now a firm favourite of mine. Yours??

    It's a ticket for Obama's Inauguration - I was able to snag 2 (for me and the wife) through work. It's open to the public, but there's a ticketed area in front of the Capitol Building so you can actually see him, as opposed to be far away and having to see it on the jumbotrons. They're expecting over 2 million people to descend on the city this weekend. It's going to be nuts. Bars downtown will be open non-stop until Wednesday morning (but have to stop serving booze for a few hours a day starting at 4 am), parties everywhere, starting tonight, friends I haven't seen in years flying into town - it's going to be legendary!

    (also, if you put your cursor over the pic, right click and select view image, you should be able to see if full size)

    29 Fahrenheit is not that bad that's the norm around here this time of year. Although if you live near the water like we do it's like another 10 degree's give or take colder from the wind so I do feel for you I have to walk a bit each day to school so it sucks.

    It was just 16F a minute ago when I got back home. Can't imagine how cold it is with the wind in the city Devil.... I'm getting chills thinking about it.
