False dilemma: “The winters are too cold. Why don’t you move?” Here’s my reply.

Snow Monster
Sunny winter’s day, a good day to walk on the squeaky sub-zero snow. Spotted a snow monster and a cyclist on the lake.
Fireside
Ran around Lake of the Isles. Now, this is my preferred view until Wednesday when the high will next be above zero F.
Ski-Sailing
Today, temperature soared to 18F so walked across Lake of the Isles and Lake Calhoun. Watched people ski-sailing.
Corruption in Washington
Tonight, at the Guthrie Theater: “Born Yesterday”–corruption in Washington, written 1945, and as fresh as ever.
First Beer of 2014
First beer of 2014. New Year’s Day tradition: walk + lunch. Frigid weather = short walk.
LEGO Research
Researched jam-free designs for a LEGO Mindstorms ball dispenser. I’ll be asleep when the ball drops in Times Square.
Finding Work and Health Insurance
Library afternoon. Helped people to navigate poorly designed Web forms to find jobs and decent health insurance.
A Good Day to Work
-2 Fahrenheit, and dropping. A good day to stay inside, and do a bunch of work for a client.
Ice Dam
Today (hopefully) saved the roof: figured out a heat tape problem. Melt water is now flowing where I want it to flow.
