Here comes the arctic blast

It just finished raining here, but the wind is still gusting.  I can hear it beating against the house.

Now the really cold air is going to move in.  The forecast says it'll get down to eleven degrees today, and the temps won't get above freezing again until Sunday.  Christmas Eve day will be frozen solid the whole day.

It usually doesn't get this cold around here until January or February, if at all.  This is pretty chilly for December.

The good news is that a good hard freeze should kill some of the dormant bug eggs, thus giving us a summer with fewer bugs.  Fingers crossed.

The other good news is that I'm done with all Christmas preparations.  I need to clean the bathroom and do a few other thing, but that's it.

Keep warm, folks.

Update

Okay, it's been a while since my last blog post, and I apologize for that.  The holiday season is upon us, and there are things to do, places to go, etc.  I've made a few forum posts in the interim, but it's a lot easier to respond to a forum post than it is to initiate a blog post.  My brain simply isn't in the right mode most of the time.  But as the holiday season winds down, that should change.

The good news is that my Christmas shopping is done and everything is wrapped.  Also good news is that I haven't had a migraine in at least a couple of weeks.

On the downside, we lost Coach Mike Leach recently, and that sucks.  The crazy pirate was always a hoot in press conferences, and he brought his eccentric genius to the football field and gave us some memorable offenses.  R.I.P., Coach.

My books are now live on Smashwords!  The Draft2Digital acquisition of Smashwords seems to be complete now, or at least complete enough, because my books went live on that retailer a few days ago.  Welcome, Smashwords shoppers, and I hope you like my stuff.

I guess that's all for now.  If you're traveling for Christmas or New Year's, then I hope you get there and back safely.

Until next time...
