Yikes , it is cold outside. With wind chill, it is below -10°. Thank God I found my 1984 Winter Olympics Ski cap. 1984 Olympics was held in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. Don't know why I still have the hat, just glad I do.

Yesterday was the feast of the Epiphany. I always thought it was January 6 but it sometimes falls on an early Sunday. I also know it as take down the Christmas Tree day. Will drop it off at a local Mulch-Fest.

 As I've said before, just trying to stay on an even keel.

Fig. to keep something in a steady and untroubled state. The manager cannot keep the firm on an even keel any longer. When the workers are unhappy, it is difficult to keep the factory on an even keel.

Keep an even keel: A nautical term for keeping a boat upright, not heeling over to either side. Today the expression is used when describing a persons emotions. To "keep an even keel" is to remain level headed or emotionally stable.

Just found out TWC is sending me a $100 Visa card. A promotion based on my last upgrade which gave me more stuff at a cheaper monthly rate.

Snow Day ! My boys aren't in school today but my Grand-kids all have smiles. A Snow Day is unexpected and tons of fun. Almost makes me feel like a kid again.I still have to work but on days like this I am usually there by myself since most of the staff lives on Long Island. Don't know if I am driving or will be taking a train. I think I will drive.

Big storm coming. Channel one TWC says 3-5 inches everybody else says 6-12. Is this snow bias ? The local forecasters want to be wrong on the high end because if they are incorrect people are relieved. Channel one has traditionally been the most accurate recently.
