What’s worse, the snow or the cold?

I’ve yet to venture outside this Sunday morning, choosing instead to work on my blogs. Here’s why. At 10:25 a.m., the crawl on “CBS Sunday Morning” proclaimed the temperature in Syracuse, N.Y., to be -4 F. My peering out the side at 8 allowed me the vision of Good Neighbor Tim and Wonderful Wife Lorraine…

Snow way that’s right

My dear wife Karen took the day off from work today, so she scheduled a nail appointment for Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle for 10 a.m. Yeah, our beloved rescue mutt does not like getting the paw nails clipped, so we take her to the vet every couple of months for the chore. It’s better…

How far have the lines moved these days?
