Green Bay Comes to Dallas
The Packers brought their weather with them. Just in time for Super Bowl week we've been hit with an Artic blast that would make Wisconsin folks feel at home...and wonder why they left. It was 75 on Saturday and today it's 20 and dropping. Gusty winds are bringing the wind chill to a crisp 1 or 2. That's not soft, pretty snow in the picture, it's solid ice. There are a zillion events planned in the area all week, many of them outdoors. Instead of a typically mild North Texas January, we've got collapsing party tents and a city at a standstill. Luckily for me, my new job doesn't start until next week so I don't have to get out in it. I'd better go now, Wes has the hot chocolate heated up.

In addition to the hot chocolate, I hope you have had Mimi, your lady's maid, retrieve the furs from the storage vault. Though one hates the cold, snow, and such, this IS an opportunity to dash about in a horse-drawn sleigh, wearing your Julie-Christie-As-Lara-In-"Doctor-Zhivago" ankle-length Russian sable with matching turban and muff.
Speaking of David Lean's masterful "Doctor Zhivago," has there ever been a more handsome movie star than black-eyed Omar Sharif as Yuri Zhivago? Then he made "Funny Girl" then what...? I think he plays bridge professionally...?
Ouch! From the 70's to 20's? It's not even that cold here in LSD. Be careful walking on that ice. One fall and it's all over.
