I'm still here. Just tied up

It's not only a Funhouse on this site, but the last couple of days have been a bit of a Madhouse in my own life. Mostly in a good way, but between weather, work, family duties, and travel adjustments for the weekend (all 5 of my longtime readers can guess where I'm headed this time of the year), it's hectic.

CPI and unemployment claims come out tomorrow, and we'll see if there are any bumps from what has been a pretty smooth last few months in the economy. And we have more snow and the first blast of extreme cold set to hit here, although the precip looks like it'll miss much of Northern Wisconsin, which is badly in need of the white stuff for its winter tourism season.

Back to more last-minute preparing and packing.
