Well, Rhonda has a four-day weekend, so she's going to try some potty training with Hanna. Hanna isn't quite ready to be rewarded with a favorite video or something like that, so Rhonda is giving her lots of water, etc...

I see it's worldwide news that the NE is experiencing some very cold weather. Hmm, North Dakota gets that kind of weather on a fairly regular basis, as does Canada, Russia, etc... and not a peep. To hear them tell it, the world is practically coming to an end out there. It's just ye olde New York bias. If it happens in New York, where lazy reporters can just stick their noses out a window, then all the world gets to hear about it. Like when that massive blackout happened. Several states and 50 million people were affected, and we only heard about what was going on in NY. Bah.

Lately John has been reciting some passage from some Thomas stories he likes. It's funny.
