UPDATE

We have reached Minnesota. The flight was uneventful, except when Mrs. Blog went to say hi to her 3-year-old nephew, and when she asked him how he was doing, he answered, really loud, "I farted!"

It is very cold here, but so far things are going smoothly, with no delays at the dogsled-rental counter. I will try to keep blogging as long as my keyboard doesn't fr

QUOTE OF THE DAY SO FAR

Lovell pointed toward the unnatural shapes in Conatser's jacket and pants and said, "You've got something."

NAKED MEN IN THE NEWS

Featuring one of the best leads we have read all day: In further news of the misadventures of people who are naked, a naked man on crack was pulled from the jaws of an alligator in Florida on Wednesday.

ATTENTION, AIR TRAVELERS

Before you go, go.

TRAVEL ADVISORY

It's 80 degrees here in Miami this morning, so my family and I are going to... Minnesota! Really. We have a family event there. We just got a call from our Minnesota relatives informing us that the temperature there is eight. Just plain eight. Mastodons are roaming the streets of Minneapolis. We of course have no clothing that works at eight. We won't get 15 feet from the airport-terminal door before the wolves get us.

The point is that blogging from me will be sporadic for a few days. I'm sure that judi will step in and post photos of naked men pick up the slack.

UPDATE: Actually, judi may be on her way to Berlin.

ADVISORY

Blogging from me will be light this morning because I have to go to the eye doctor so he can ask me the same question -- "Is it better this way... or this way?" -- 4,500 times when he knows full well that THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO WAYS. Then he will put drops into my eyes to make sure that I cannot identify any object smaller than the Lincoln Memorial. Then he will send me out into Miami traffic.So I may never blog again. HOWEVER I want to remind everybody that if I survive, I will be strumpeting for my Christmas book (which by the way is for sale) tonight.
