Very cold today.  Here in the Boston area it was 4 degrees F when we got up this morning.  We are keeping warm though wrestling with the intracacies of installing crown molding in our family room.  We finally got the corner miters figured out but then couldn't figure out which way up to install.  A search on the internet revealed that it depends on the "rise and the run" which on our molding appears to be the same, so I guess we can put it whichever way we prefer.

My sister called from England this morning to wish us a Happy New Year, so it was nice to speak with her and catch up with all the news there.
