In Cincinnati today it's almost 60 degrees—what's up with that?! Call it what you will, but the weather patterns are weird. We've had rain for days and days; the rivers and creeks are bursting their banks. Not complaining, but all this rain comes on the heels of a drought we sweltered through last summer. And the calendar says December 11th ... shouldn't it be snowing instead of raining?

Anyway, I'm taking advantage of the mild weather and am going to walk over to the mall and pick up a Christmas gift.

I've read there's an ice storm across the Midwest of the US. What's it doing in your part of the world?

Peace and love,
