goddamn, it’s cold in boston. -7F at Logan airport this morning. that’s a cool -21 celsius (it sounds more impressive when you say it in celsius). 350 school districts were closed today so children could stay at home, having grilled-cheese sandwiches and tomato soup in front of cartoons. after 2 years in montreal, where it regularly reached -25 C, i have some pearls of wisdom for you bostonians: you can either be fashionable, or you can be warm. but you can’t be both. think about that when you’re shunning that ski-mask at the back of your closet (or as they call it here, a balaclava. go figger.)

Here’s something brits need desperately: a self parking car. seriously, i used to think i was a pretty bad parallel parker, but compared to some of the attempts here, I am an absolute parking genius. we’re talking one tyre half on the curb, front end sticking out. they quite simply don’t care, and bully for them.

in the “scariest place on earth if you like your civil liberties, or happen to like your windchime collection” category, disneycorp. is selling its celebration! florida community. puts me in mind of “pleasantville”. definitely creepy.

and last but not least, michael moore throws his considerable weight behind… wesley clark?!? which puts him in fine company with madonna. if you care.

think of me as you watch the patriots kick some indianapolis ass sunday. I won’t even know the score til monday night, but peyton manning is going down, hard.

go pats!
