Baby, it's cold outside.

Temperatures in the Ann Arbor area were at minus 10 degrees at 4:30 a.m. today, with a wind chill factor of minus 25 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. So, you know what that means? Besides the obvious question of why would anyone choose to live here? It means that school was canceled for my kiddos. I wasn't aware of this policy, and actually, am a little bit shocked that this is an actual policy where I am living, but if the wind chill is minus 20 or below then school is canceled. Yes, I live here on purpose. Wasn't it just my last post, only a few short days ago that I said I was happy I was staying an extra year here? I take it back. If I could move today I would. OK, maybe I am being a little dramatic. But, come on, this is nasty.

I should stop complaining, it could be a lot worse. The sun is shinning in Ann Arbor today.

We heard from Andy yesterday. He is having a great time. I asked him if he had spoken any French. He said, no not really, when I pressed him on the subject, then he said "I did say bonjour to a couple people". Well, at least the trip wasn't a waste!
Here is a story problem for you. If a 13 year old named Andy, rides a train from Ann Arbor to Montreal and makes no stops. How does that 13 year old lose one boot? I can't seem to figure it out.
