cold

the early morning temperature in new york city this morning - 13 degrees F.

the early morning temperature in atlanta - 16 degrees F.

875 miles south of new york city, and it's only 3 degrees warmer here! that's not right! we deserve warmer!

the heat ran all night without shutting off once, and although i had the thermostat set at 75, it could only warm the house up to 69 degrees.

this should be the worst of it, however - it hasn't been this cold in atlanta in almost two years, and the forecast is for gradual warming through out the week.

i went to work for a half-day this morning and stopped at the unsellable condo in vinings on the way home to make sure the cold weather hadn't gotten to the plumbing. everything looked all right, except the toilet in the master bath, which looks like it developed a leaky seal (probably from age, not from the cold). I'll have to add fixing it to my list of chores.

tonight, i open the zen center and will lead a talk on ignorance, along the lines of my posts here from last week.
