Arctic tundra an exaggeration? 

I'm in Fort Lauderdale for training this week. Jantina is already in Lincoln with Sassy. She's relaying reports of extreme cold up there. She attended the funeral for her grandmother today and is expecting to start looking at houses on Wednesday.

I realized today that I drive right by Calvary Chapel Ft. Lauderdale when I go to class here, so I'm planning on attending their Wednesday night service. I'm really looking forward to it!

The instructor indicated today that the class should wrap up around lunch time on Friday. So I'll start my 19-24 hour drive to Lincoln at that time (~1,304 miles). I'll be sure to have my iPod loaded up ... iTunes currently reports that I have 17 hours and 7 minutes worth of audio in my entire library... so it might be interesting to listen to everything I own at least once on the trip.

I'm not sure what Jantina's telling you, but it's about 10 degrees and dropping in central Illinois. Pretty uncomfortable.

Yup, it got to -6 last night, according to the Courier. Also, I think we are going to have to break the "No dressing pets" rule, Sassy shivers for 5 minutes after coming in from outside. I think she needs at least a coat.

Hmm, that is a bit colder than the averages in Tibet, where her breed is said to originate. I wonder if her coat will get thicker?

It is snowing now and it is so pretty. Sassy loves it! When we were coming back from her morning walk to the park she took her leash in her mouth and tugged on it, she didn't want to come in. We ran around in it a bit, she had a great time.

LCHS song

"Lincoln, Lincoln, we are proud of you. Lincoln, Lincoln, we will e'er be true. Following the bright Golden Rule, we get things done without much ado. We're happy, we're snappy when we send our call. Lend your voices one and all. If dear old Abe were here I know just what he'd do; He'd say Lincoln, we're proud of you!"
