Good morning all. Hope you had a nice weekend. I would best most of us are cold today but be assured we will take another temperature survey and try to get a handle on this indoor temperature. Brrrrrr!

Snow Delay/Closing
We are using a new system this year for snow delays and closings. By 6:15AM, there will be a message on the Bayard phone with information about whether we will have normal hours, a delay, or be closed for the day. To access this message, call either (860) 437-3012 or (800) 321-0411. When the phone is answered, press 208 for the Bayard Inclement Weather Mailbox. You will hear the date and a brief message with the work status.


Gwen is settling in nicely in Maryland. Unfortunately, she is having trouble with her Comcast email. So for now, please use her 23rd email: gcostello@twentythirdpublications.com

2006 Holidays
Please check your mail slot for the new listing of 2006 Holidays. Looks about the same as this year.

A spot of humor from Alison:
I have a calendar that gives funny anecdotes and bits of trivia about dogs. Today's read: "'Three dog night'" is an Eskimo expression and refers toextremely cold nights during which a person must sleep near three dogs (like my Samoyed) to stay warm.--Alison
