Same to all! It's a balmy -34C today, no wind, bright sunshine.

Spent the last several days not far from bed with the Mother of All Colds. One of the symptoms were sharp head pains several times a minute that never ceased. Still have them but not with the same intensity.

It's been one of those times when I wished I could still drink. Wouldn't have helped the cold, but I wouldn't have cared. At least I would have gotten some sleep.

Have I told you about WRESTING DAY?

The town of Williams Lake BC has a one-off civic holiday they call Wrestling Day. Some wag picked up on the common but erroneous suposed origin of Boxing Day and being on council, or have struck council's funny bone created their very own civic holiday, the second of January every year!

There is a date in January which is supposed to be the most depressing day of the year.

I think Garfield the Cat nailed it better - "February is a month of Mondays!"
