Poor little thing in such cold weather. I've never seen snow, if you can believe that. I hear it's very very cold and I'm largely uninterested. Yeah, my little shop is pretty cool, if not totally grass roots, make it up as we go, etc. I'd give you a job in a heart beat, you have a large business vocabulary. Keep warm....
