Today is the day my wife hosts her mahjong group here. I had to go out to get breakfast because our kitchen is closed - except for the stuff she's making for them, of course.
It's a cozy 72° here in my office, where I plan to hole up and grimace at all the cackling going on upstairs. My posts today might be a tad gritchy. They arrive any minute now...
As to the weather outside, see tikkanut's post above. It's 36° as I type this, clouds going away and temps rising to about 45° later on. We're between winter storms in our typical pattern of two days of storm and then three days of nice. Expecting a little do-nothing front to pass through tomorrow, and then a long snowy/rainy weekend. If the pattern holds, we ought to get the traditional Christmas Eve snowstorm right on time.
