"No, you have responsibilities to fulfill. See ya in a while". There, I've solved that problem.

Maybe the spinning disk would be a good day trip with the missus when she returns.

I do doubt it will snow that much, but there is a "trans-polar artic front" coming through here this weekend and supposed to move up that way later. Of course that's the weather bunnies talking, but you might get something, depending on moisture.

I'm horrible at telling her no. I tell her no about as well as I retire.

She knows this. She knows this all too well. Fortunately, she takes pity on me and doesn't abuse it!

Hmm... She's much closer to Westbrook than I am. It's down near Portland.

Hmm... I'm pondering...

As for the arctic front, we just had some beautifully cold weather. I didn't get to enjoy it much, but I did go outside. It got down to -24° and the wind was gusting at maybe 25 mph. Lemme do some chart checking...

That's a 'feels like' temp of about -55°. Sweet!

I can't really bundle up and use crutches. The layers mean the crutches aren't secure in my armpits. I very, very seldom go outside without crutches, even just to the porch. It's a fall risk. That means I don't really get to enjoy the crisp cold air for very long. (Those temperatures are deadly.)

You two are really trying my patience. As much of an imposition as it would be, I'll put off some of my board meetings and have someone else direct my support groups and charities, and come up there. I won't be in a good mood and you'll be sorry. Sheeesh, kids!

Well, ok, maybe my presence isn't required quite yet. You seem to have some adult decision making skills still intact. I know it's hard but they need to know they can't always rely on "the pass". (I realise I have the advantage of distance. I'd fold like an old blanket if I was there too).

Hope you can find some moderate activity to undertake. At least you have a show coming up, that'll help. Maybe after the show, send the girls home and you and the missus have a few days out of house.
