It is -20 degrees in Vermont at my cabin and remember that temperature all too well when my husband and I first owned it. Since I am a creature who likes comfort I am more than happy to turn the place over to younger family who think it is fun to fight freezing their buns. Personally, at 3 degrees above zero, I hunkered down and read three books for the day, with relatively few interruptions until 5 AM, and felt it was a vacation.
The news is boring. The plane that crashed in the Hudson River has been shown over and over again. I'm delighted everyone was safe and am proud of the pilot...but, is there nothing else happening in the world or is the media just relieved that they don't have to play the ridiculous farewell speech GWB gave (in 13 minutes), repeatedly. He ended on a delightful note, proving all the negative things the American majority already knew about him. The man may have been disappointed, (suggesting that they might have been called mistakes by some; implying that they would be wrong to do so)rather than guilty about some of the things he caused to happen but the disappointment paled in face of the disappointment he was to the country during the eight years of his squatting in and disgracing the Oval office. Watch Keith Olbermann's comments on Bush's apology for not having the mess he was handed before he got to Washington better.
Oh well, as of last night, he is history!! I'll drink to that......

That video was alternately painful to watch and enjoyable (the Bush segments interspersed with Olbermann). W is clearly cognitively impaired. Good riddance indeed.
