I was corrected by the worst-spelling teacher I've ever met, but to stick it to them, I'm still gonna say what I originally said and stand by my redundant statement: 'We have regressed back to winter.' Now I know it doesn't look good for an English Teacher to make such an error. OF COURSE we are going back when we regress, but then again why do we say 'write down'? Can you ever write up? No. Gravity is our limitation to writing, therefore we must always be writing down, or maybe sideways. But don't bust out your space camp NASA wannabe crap by informing me about zero-gravity pens. I've heard of them nerd-linger so save your smart-ass comments for your part-time tech support job. Anyway, do you see my point? I am simply stating that we 'regressed back to winter' in the same way one says 'write down on paper'.

Regardless of semantics, it's cold. Jeju (and all of Korea... and China) bore the brunt of a huge cold front that hit China with the biggest snow storm in 50 years, and rescinded the offer of spring for Korea, forcing me specifically to apologize to the weather gods for teaching my kids about Groundhog Day in America. The temperature here dropped from an average of 65 during the day to 40, that's just a cold trick to play on us. That lonesome groundhog Phil predicted an early spring, but I guess he can't predict the erratic nature of Mother Earth's vicious attacks upon Al Gore fans. I still can't believe a PowerPoint presentation received an Oscar.

stupid groundhog.
