Well, here in Three Mountains, An Tir (Portland OR), it's 33 and blowing 
like the dickens. The neighbors to the side and back have loose screen 
doors or boards or something that are going bangety bump, loudly, and all 
night long. Sleep? HA!

Our pipes are ok, (33 degrees- above zero) and the kitties are curled up 
and sleeping. Me, listening to the banging out back, I'm trying to decide 
on the Christmas day menu. Dad will be here (interestingness of it's own) 
and I'm thinking of making Plummemousse (sp?)(Mennonite fruit soup) and 
pfeffernuisse, and we'll have ham for dinner. Beyond that, I don't know 
yet. What is everyone else planning?
