Re-Integration Part I

yeah, I know I am back in Wisconsin and that it's winter time...

the favorite casual greeting be it at the gas station while one is filling the tank, amongst work colleagues over lunch or even calling the freight shipping agent up in Minnesota is still the same:

"cold 'nuff foya yet?!"

I've started thinking up alternative responses to this traditional Wisconsinian winter greeting beyond my standards, "awe yeah" and "you bet!" Stuff like "Yeah, I bought my car a parka jacket yesterday." or "are you kidding buddy? this is nothing! I did semester abroad in an igloo school in the arctic last year".

But, I am living up to the re-integration. I braved the cold the other nite just to go out and buy a bucket of sharp cheddar cheese for a midnite snack ;-)
