Giok, when I went out for breakfast the ploughed snow in the street is up to my NOSE!!!, man it is deep!! They have had about 18inches to maybe 30 in total in 6 days on top of what was already there. I was watching the forecast on TV and they said "12 degrees" and I thought "thats not too bad" then I realised they were giving it in Fahrenheit!!!! and the windchill factored in said -14!!!!! Holy S*** Batman, That is Cold!!! and it WAS!!

Well, Micca, maybe next time you go flitting about the globe in the dead of winter, you ought to consider the weather....If you want warm, consider ALASKA.......a balmy 36 degrees!

We will be in the 30s today and the 40s tomorrow which mweans the snow will melt and refreeze and melt and refreeze until eventually my driveway will be a skating rink.

So that's where you are, you little fucker. In Portland & didn't even come down to the Press Room session in Portsmouth tonight. Son of a bitch. You better stay in Maine with that lot of fruit flies & hope they don't take you to the shit pile. Tom had a seat all wait'n for you to warm your ass on & folks were fighting for it too, not for your ass but for your seat. I didn't know you were in the area until tonight & here I find you, complaining about the frost & heaves & icy patches & snow banks up to your nose. Fine storm riding sailor you'll make, a little brisk & bitter wind blows up & you take cover among the skirts of the north, figures, a distasteful man with good taste. I hope that you'll be in the area for a bt longer, you must have some dirt on that crew up there worth telling.

Better make the next sessin if ya wan' ta make it till sunrise.

Don't worry - we can deal with Barry - in time.

Micca didn't get to the Press Room because no-one from here was driving down. I'm still trying to get over a heavyweight cold, Mary was working too late and Tami's not too well either. So don't blame Micca - if you're going to have a go it will have to be at the 'skirts'. However, it takes a very brave man to attempt that one! :0)

Yes - I definitely think 'skirts' are (is?) more insulting than fruit flies........no one asked me (sob sob) but I couldn't have driven to the Press Room either last night - worked until 8 pm putting out a huge fire. You don't know what HELL is until you have been a realtor, covering for another realtor who is away, and you are told on the morning following a closing that the closing was not legit because no deed was signed and your friend's )for whom you are covering's) buyer is busy dewinterizing a house he does not legally own and filling the oil tank with oil priced higher than gold dust and HE DOES NOT OWN THE HOUSE....! And your husband is a lawyer and he says -- well, YOU will have to tell him and I scream - ME -- he is going to want the legal angle -- you tell him ......!!!

Oh God - it was ugly. Crisis was CA based (can I blame Amos?) so due to time differences did not get resolved finally til about 7.45 pm our time.! I faded away to nothing with anxiety......

And I am glad Micca is here but don't think I'm glad to be a skirt....perhaps a gown would be more appropriate.....??????

Micxa was trying on capes too. He found one that suited him admirably for about $300. Beautiful until he noticed the 1 in front of the 3. It was cashmere.

Well, well, the Micca is in New 'ampshire, called me he did. I hope Sinsull keeps an eye on the skamp, the snow drifts up there would be way over his head.

From all accounts he's basking in the warm light of friendship and love, and all this with no political agenda.

Lift a glass for Susette and I, Mighty Micca, and we'll see you at Heathrow on 2/6/08.

cheers and big hug for Mary.

No insult or slander meant or intended to any fruit fly or skirt living in the state of Maine. Just like to get a bee buzzing up the knickers every so often & stir the nest a bit. You guys take too good care of Micca & he won't go home. Another transplanted Brit in neighborhood, pretty soon they'll want independance & go starting a revalation. Well, maybe you'll bring him south next week with the birds & he can migrate all over NH. Will he be staying longer enough to attend the next shanty session?
BTW if you think I'd ever try to take the lot of you on, NO WAY!
I like you just te way you are

We will send him back but only if you promise to take care of him. Micca needs to be fed and watered. A pat on the head and a trimming now and then are in order.

Mary,
Oh, oh, sorry about the Maine/New Hampshire mixup. I imagine there's some small rivalry and possible low-grade competition and slight animosity? Do Mainers tell stories about New Hampshirites and vice versa?

From down here in DC where it will be near 70 degrees today and tomorrow, the states up there by the tundra are somewhat indistinct. Uh oh, maybe I shouldn't have said that.

Anyway I'm glad Micca is safe in Maine with you, Mary, and not in New Hampshire. I'm sure Hilary could hardly keep her hands off him.

Maine was once part of Massachusetts. We view that state with some contempt. NH is OK - I mean how can you fault "Live or Die Free"?


Wonder if Micca will notice an extra 20 pounds in his luggage. The hellish fountain has to go...
