And Tony, now you're trying to draw Barefoot into this. We all know (depite your denials) that your use of the subjunctive in your post definitely qualifies you as an honorary English Majo(u)r.
Judy,

My weather? Well, I have been taking those virtual tours of TV houses again. It is not only too cold here. It is too cold, too soon.

And that was a nice catch on Tony's use of the subjunctive mood.
