"Whooooo-whoooooo!"

I woke up extra early this morning (three alarms set at 7:30, 7:45, and 8:00 am) so I could feed Charly, let her out, shower, maybe even nibble something, kennel Charly and leave by 9:00 am to get to J's house by 9:30. It was 29 F ('ing)! I almost called to say maybe it's too cold to be walking around outside at Saturday Market downtown and then go to see the steam engine (Oregon Pacific Railroad) puff and roar and toot, carrying a load of people up and down a small section of track. Henry is train obsessed, and his face said "Awesome!!!" I'm glad I soldiered up and wore many layers and didn't complain. It was fun, and I really have to stop being such a wuss about cold weather. It's perfect weather, i.e. NOT RAINING.
