I'm a cold-weather person too..all my ancestors came to the US from cold countries -- Ireland, Poland, and what I'll call "Czechoslovakia", even though it started out as Austro-Hungarian Empire and is now Ukraine. ;-)

Schools here are very afraid of everything, it seems. Yet they cannot use any common sense at all. Sensible precautions are one thing, but around here, they'd be more likely to ban hockey. x-p I just learned that the cafeteria has no knives whatsoever. Not even dinky little plastic ones. How on earth are these children going to learn anything? Sheesh.

I'd better stop before I remember more idiocy from the school. I can hardly wait until he gets out of there.
