The only place in the US that is getting real winter is Alaska, and from what I have read, they are getting it in an over abundance.

It has been abnormal, in the extreme.
Good night, my King.
Good night, dear Royals.
See you all on the morrow.

(Hmmmmm... for a king who said he was going to be in the Castle for the week, you sure are absent this morning. Still in bed, your Majesty? )
Good morning, my Liege.
Good morning, dear Royals.
Breakfast?
(I remember you can't have any more wenches.
)

Mmmm. Breakfast.
Thank you, Duchess Ambrosia.
Hmm. I think it's going to snow. The sky is gray, and the air has the feel about it.
I probably should get some work done before I end up staring out the window, lost in Lala land.

It is a working vacation for me, you know.
And I have to write sometime.
Not that I am writing. Yet.
I am grading, though.
(I remember you can't have any more wenches.
That was *not* one of my proclamations.
At all.

Take it up with Princess Beatrix. (You do know the princesses hang together, right?
)On the weather front, although the forecasters are saying the winter storm hitting the Midwest will hit here tomorrow and Thursday, they lie. Well, it isn't exactly a lie. It will just be too warm up here around the lake for the precip to be anything more than rain. New England may get some snow, though.
Unfortunately, my King, it looks like you are in for the same mild temps as we are. I fear mosquito season is going to start early. And I will have to come up with the money to get my dog heartworm prevention meds before I normally would. Not a good prospect.

Yes, I am aware of this.
It terrifies me and keeps me awake at night, but I am aware.

And the fleas. Which I just got rid of, because the people who lived here before me had them. So my indoor cat had them pretty bad.
Of course, he keeps acting like he wants to go outside, the idjit.
*needs scratchy smiley*
For the fleas: food-grade diatomaceous earth. DE slices through the bugger's exoskeleton and kills them. But make sure it is food-grade and not the stuff they use for swimming pools, which is poisonous.
I have started two threads in the Office Party, one about flying books and another about a book surgeon. Royals, please check these out and comment. I decided to post them in the main Office Party forum so more people would see them instead of posting them in the Castle. Take a look.

Yes, I know about this, and used it.
Which is how I managed to get rid of them.
That and cat baths.
Social intercourse. Sounds painful.
Perhaps you are just not being social with the right people, Princess Wicked. I limit my social times to people I enjoy being around. It helps, greatly.

I usually do that.
Hubby keeps telling me talking to the same five people doesn't qualify as being social.

Yes, yes it does.
No one said you have to be "social" with lots of people. Some of us do just fine with smaller circles.
It's when you have a circle of none that you need to worry. Any more than that and you're fine.
He uses such phrases as;
"You'll feel better if you start talking to people"
"Break out of your shell"
"Expand your horizons"
"Go out and socialize like a normal human being"
That normal one always cracks me up. Baby, even I can't fake that.

Normal?
Like this?
Yes! That's it, Watson! It must be!
Normal is a communicable disease. It's insidious, and they want me to catch it.
Sort of like the hive.
And in general, talking to other people just makes me feel homicidal.
A maniac after my own heart.
I don't think we're going to be quite so dogmatic, here.
Besides, when everyone the same it's kind of boring.
