After having only 4 hours sleep overnight and the last hour and a half was agonizingly slow but I had a great day. I felt good leaving out of there as it was about +6. We're getting some nice weather the 2nd half of January but Sunday and Monday are supposed to "be cold" days. Sunday -12 and Monday about the same.
