General Beauregard Lee


He lives in a little plantation house, supercute.



(But you will notice does NOT sport a "rebel flag" he's not THAT kinda redneck.) ;)

His ONE wrong prediction was the infamous 1993 blizzard. (shivver!)


We also have a groundhog on our street .... a wild one .... if I see him, I'll get his thoughts on the matter, but I bet he's too busy trying to get this weekends snow out of his hovel.

This is Chuckles, our official groundhog in CT. She saw her shadow this morning but I refuse to believe it. :)

3. Well, I have to admit....

... I'm jealous of Michelle getting to sit next to Tom Harkin. He's adorable (in a respected elder statesman kinda way.) :)

5. Doesn't look like there there was a big run on those apples --

can't help but think if they'd served donuts, there'd be nothing but crumbs left on those plates. But maybe I'm projecting. :7
