Dave Hallowell didn't happen to have his camcorder at hand, did he?

I knew when I left to get orders from the boss (well, and to SEE him since I'd dropped him off at Portsmouth Regional in the a.m.) that I was missing something a bit unusual even for Peter.

That "Chop down the pine tree" sounds interesting -- Rose, do you remember the tune? Any idea where it's from? Sounds like northern New England...

Anywho, brought in plenty of firewood last night, ran the furnace several times before I went to bed (and it's running now), and the house stayed reasonably warm despite the cold outside. Pipes seem to be fine and unfrozen. Just brought in the wood I'd left on the deck so I don't have to make a foray to the woodpile for a little while.

Am off right now to take a cup of coffee upstairs and call Tom -- see if he has any idea when they'll spring him. (Oh, and I'll check the forecast to see if anyone has any idea when the "weather" is arriving today.)
