I've got a ton of errands to run today, along with a 12:30 church choir rehearsal for our annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols tomorrow night. I had planned on wearing my SWK thrifty Black Watch today, regardless of temperature, and I thought I'd go to weather.com to see what the temperature was.

The good news: the temperature in a pleasantly unseasonable 54.

The bad news: the wind is blowing at 18 MPH, gusting to 43.

I plan to walk with my head held high, hands held low.
