MIH, the windchill was 10 below zero the other night, but it's supposed to warm up tomorrow.

Yep, that's what I'm doing. I also just ordered the 3 CD "Polka Magic" set, 100 of your all time polka favorites. If that doesn't set my toe to tapping, I don't know what will. I know my co-workers will all smile and nod appreciatively when I crank that up (I wouldn't want to leave them out). :biggrin:
