It&#8217;s only listed at $13 million, and from the photos, it looks like pretty nice digs.  Makes me wonder what Jerry did for a living, though, to afford a place like that.  I mean, wasn&#8217;t he a congressman for, like, ever, before he got the gig as Nixon&#8217;s VP (thanks to Spiro Agnew being a criminal)?  And then he got to be President for a little while.  Doesn&#8217;t seem like those jobs pay enough.  But I suppose he wrote a book or something.  <\/p>\n<p>For the most part, I don&#8217;t mind winter.  In fact, I dislike the real hot weather a lot more than I do the cold stuff (there aren&#8217;t any bugs, you can actually do stuff without sweating to death, and the snow covers everything up, so you don&#8217;t have to worry about complying with what your neighbors consider an acceptable level of lawn care).  But now we&#8217;re getting toward the end of February, and, while it&#8217;s staying lighter a little bit longer, it still gets dark depressingly early.  We&#8217;re right around our average with 85 inches of snow so far, but, statistically speaking, we&#8217;re due another 40 inches or so before it&#8217;s all over.  Not a big deal, but I&#8217;m at the age where I feel it all in my bones (and in my joints).  <\/p>\n<p>Speaking of bones and joints, I really wish they&#8217;d allow medical marijuana dispensaries here in the Empire State.  That would definitely take the edge off things, and a couple cookies before bedtime would help me sleep.  Oh well, the government knows best, I guess.<\/p>\n<p>It was a pretty stress-free weekend here (though not a very productive one, as I accomplished pretty much nothing).  SU didn&#8217;t play a hoops game, so there was nothing much to anguish over (though lacrosse season started, with the men winning once, and the women winning twice).  Now, though, it&#8217;s back to work.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jerry Ford&#8217;s cozy little cottage in Colorado is up for sale, if anybody&#8217;s interested.
