brrr

it is coooooold. and, (hahahaha) my father is here to experience, first hand, the cold. which means two very important somethings. he can now see that i am definitely NOT crazy and that it really DOES get strickingly cold here.

at this very moment, i am wearing 4 shirts (a camisole, a t-shirt, a lightweight fleece and a sweatshirt hoody), pair of jeans, wool socks, wool scarf, and wool cap. have been nursing various warm non-alcoholic beverages throughout the day. i find comfort in their radiating heat.

team 3: march that was supposed to arrive this afternoon did not because of equally bad weather in virginia...the minute difference being that virginia has some sort of terrible snow storm. we hope they will make it safely here tomorrow!
