a much needed thaw

For those of you not keeping track, we have had almost a week of sub-zero temps. Yes, even the "highs" for the day were below or barely above zero. If you don't know how cold that is, its REALLY cold. On Friday it was starting to warm up. It was so "warm" in fact, you could step outside and not have your nose hairs instantly freeze. Yesterday was about the same. Today it is hovering around 32 degrees. The inch of snow we got yesterday morning is nice and slushy now. Tomorrow's forecast includes rain. Wednesday the forecast calls for a high of -1. Seems this global warming "early thaw" is going to be short lived. So goes life in MN. It is infact MN, it gets cold here.

Next Sunday is "The Big Game" (don't want to get in trouble for using a protected name) but I'm not that excited about it. On the one hand, it would be cool to see a team go 18-0 and be perfect. On the other had, I don't like Randy Moss and would rather it not be his team. On the other hand, I don't know that Eli and his team has what it takes to pull it off. On the other hand, the have gotten better, and the did almost pull it off last time...I think thats enough hands. My pick, Giants by 6.
