For some reason this story caught my attention. I'd love to see 25-foot snowman on my front yard or in my neighborhood. If I lived somewhere that was possible, I think it would be fun to be able to do something like that, at least once. Snowzilla has attracted a lot of attention, and I guess that's the problem. Legal action is being taken against the homeowner, because Snowzilla is supposedly a public nuisance. There's even a website to raise money to "Save Snowzilla." Is this really the best way to spend the government's time and money?

I thought I'd told everyone, but I guess I neglected to tell some of you that I was going on vacation. I haven't had a real vacation in a while, so it was nice to get away. The extended family took a cruise to Alaska. And by extended, I mean--me, Mom, Pop, Auntie Mimah, Lorei, Greg, Greg's mom and dad, and Greg's uncle and aunt. Yup, ten of us in all. It was a good time, although it was disappointing on some levels. I'll tell you more about that later.

On the job front, well, let's just say keep your fingers crossed (and your knees bent). Thanks.

I'm managing to keep rather busy these days, so I guess that's good. At this point, however, all of my busyness is not cost-effective. Pray that that will change soon.

I'll post some pictures and stories of Alaska before the week is out. Really.
