Ice storms and 'work'......

A less than stellar day in Kansas City today. We've been spoiled by near-record temperatures over the past couple of weeks. The temperatures in the 60s somehow gave that feeling that winter isn't quite here yet. Today, Mother Nature has decided to reward us with a nice ice storm followed by some snow over the next couple of days. Ah, well. It had to happen eventually.

Our dog has quickly learned a new favorite word: work. Yes, most of you probably consider 'work' to be a four-letter word in more ways than one. My dog knows that word means that my wife, who works in our home, will be going in to work on the computer for an extended period of time. He loves going in and laying down next to her chair because he knows she'll be in one spot for a long period of time and that he won't have to chase her around to get attention. He usually takes a bone in there as well to keep himself busy. Truly a dog's life.
