And so it goes...

Saturday I stepped outside to retrieve my tax receipt from the Lupus Foundation and discovered that yes, it was warmer outside than inside my house. This weekend's heat wave, however, meant that it was a balmy 62 degrees inside yesterday. That's a 17 degree jump since last Thursday. Based on the weather forecast, I will easily make the 10th and will most likely be able to hold off to the 15th before turning the heat on.

In a cold weather note, I learned yesterday that Daunte Culpepper is either so cheap or so stupid (or both) that he turned his heat off in his home here last year when he moved down to Florida for the winter. Do you know what happens when you have no heat in your house and you haven't drained the pipes and turned off the water? Yes, Daunte completely flooded his house.

Yesterday, I had some grand plans. I was going to make my second four mile walk of the weekend, wash the hood of my truck, do all my laundry, put the screen back on my door, do another round of cleaning my garage and generally get everything completely winterized. A good plan until I got called to work and didn't get home until after 4. I might have to work from home some time this week so I can get a few of these things done during daylight hours.

Also, my tickets came this weekend. I love tickets!
