Much Too Cold

     I just checked the weather report, and it is currently 28 degrees F.   For California, this is very cold indeed.  We may even get snow tomorrow, which is a pretty rare occurance for this time of the year.
    
     I'm sure that where some of you viewers live, it is much colder, so here's hoping that you're all keeping warm and dry.
    
     I'm doing my level best to keep warm, with three blankets, a hot-water bottle, a cat (cats make excellent foot-warmers), and a cup of hot chocolate spiced with cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and dash of cayenne pepper.  It sounds a bit odd perhaps, but it's effective, and is actually quite delicious.
