We missed Ted during the Friday meeting this week, but Jay, Tim and I were able to attend. The weather was, as Jay used to describe it, "raw". And I couldn't agree more. Temps were in the mid-teens, and there was somewhere around 6 inches of snow on the ground (give or take), under cloudy skies. Fortunately, we weren't huddled around a fire on the river, where it would probably have felt much colder.
I was describing a guy that is apparently a friend of one of my daughters and used a term we were all familiar with, but you don't hear used very much: trogladyte. Think cave man and you'll get the picture. This of course led to more discussion of the word and a song we all remembered from our youth. Here's a link for your listening and viewing pleasure:
Ah, the good old days.
Checking the temp on the 30 or so thermometers in Jay's shop, we discovered that we actually have one in common. They were purchased by our kids at their elementary school nearly twenty years ago. The difference in the two is in how they've been used over the years: Jay's has always been inside and mine has always been used outside. The differences are pretty dramatic.
