I believe it is somewhere in the balmy 40s on Puget Sound, but have not yet looked at the thermometer on the back porch. Foggy as heck, though. Just happy to have Thursday off from work, for once.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:34pm schmutz:

Michael, I'm also in Boston! I just ventured out for a coffee and it seems to be tolerable now. Sad to miss the majority of the show (who schedules a meeting at lunchtime?)
