    One more sleep until the surprise birthday for my dad. I just got off the phone from my brother and found out that he has the same winter storm warnings as we have here in the Prairies -- snow and blowing snow, temperatures dipping to below minus forty-five Celcius, with the windchill factor ...

    But it will not put a damper on the party spirit. My only hope is that my brother's plane is on schedule, or as close to it as humanly possible.

    If you love philosophy as much as I do please join my site.
