holy cow-today when i got up, it was only 4 degrees below zero! after the last few weeks, that's a warm snap!

we're supposed to get some snow tonight-not as much as the people south of us, but snow none the less. which is great, because that is actually a sign that it will be somewhat warmer. it seems like a contradiction, but when it's as artically cold as it's bee here recently, it is actually too cold to snow. plus it's wicked dry and we are going through hand cream like nobody's business.

it's kind fun and weird to near a small state that holds the nation's first presidentital primary. i meane the candidates are actually coming to hanover to make appearances. howard dean's interview with diane sawyer, taped at 'an inn in vermont' was actually filmed within walking distance from our house. totally trippy.

and in case you haven't heard, wesley clark won the midnight primaries that take place at 2 small towns in NH every presidentital season. i think the next few weeks will be a political whirlwind with all the primaries that are happening, but, for once, i'm kinda looking forward to it.
