Hope he had a great trip skiing. At least from you guys in Alexandria it
should be well sanded roads to National. Hopefully he makes it with no
incident - is he going to wait til after rush (or slow) hour?


Wrong airport--we're out by Dulles ;-) Fortunately,
he got out there before "rush" hour and before it got too
icky, so he said it wasn't too bad. Whew. He did have
fun skiing, so all's well that ends well.

I don't know why - for some reason I thought you were in Alexandria. Much
easier being local to Dulles. Now I'll have to hook you into stitch'n'bitch
night in Sterling (at the Hang-Up, 3rd Wed of the month).

Glad he made it, and all is good.

Darn, darn, darn! I have a preschool board meeting
that night :-( It goes away in the summer, though, so
maybe I could at least go then.

Best wishes,

Just thought I would put in a report from Ottawa, Canada, the second
coldest capital city in the world (after Outer Mongolia). We are having
an "old-fashioned" winter, with lots of cold weather, but nothing really
out of the ordinary. We have missed the recent big snowstorm which affected
much to the south of us; we just had a couple of inches. So although all
this cold weather is frustrating, we cannot really complain. And
it's Ground-Hog Day next week!! Only about 8 more weeks of winter.
Ottawa's Winterlude, our winter festival, starts soon, so hopefully the
weather will stay below freezing until the festivities are all over.
