It was minus four in my neck of the woods yesterday morning, but as of now, it's 47 sunny degrees. This has been a relatively dry winter so far, but the other shoe usually drops in March.

You know, I needed an evening activity, and I am just so glad you provided one. I'm determined to outdo lollipop with right hand typing. So far, I'm just coming up with compound words that might not make it through Scrabble judging. Such as:

hippopoop
kookymoon
loonypill
phonylump
kinkyhunk

The gauntlet has been thrown down.

Kookymoon would play for this kinkyhunk.
