As I type, it's 8 below - damn - it's been cold cold cold for two straight weeks. It warmed up a tad yesterday. The temperature soared up to 15 degrees for a few hours. And then it plumeted right back to its below zero home. Which makes walking the Tyge-a-boo fun - especially late at night.
Fortunately, tonight we walked Tyge after we got home from the most fabulous concert - Chick Corea and Touchstone. It's a darn good thing the band played all those hot latin rhythms. We needed something to warm us up!

O.K. This is too funny:
At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to be a public school teacher, was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule, and a calculator.
At a morning press conference, Attorney General Gonzales said he believes the man is a member of the notorious al-gebra movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.
Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," Gonzales said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like 'x' and 'y' and refer to themselves as 'unknowns', but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, 'there are 3 sides to every triangle'."
