"Baby, Its Cold Outside" . . . at 9° this morning, this song keeps playing through my head, so here is the whole thing for you (as sung by Dean Martin):
I really can't stay (but baby, it's cold outside)
I've got to go away (but baby, it's cold outside)
This evening has been (been hoping that you'd drop in)
So very nice (i'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (beautiful what's your hurry?)
My father will be pacing the floor (listen to the fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry (beautiful please don't hurry)
But maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might think (baby, it's bad out there)
Say what's in this drink? (no cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how (your eyes are like starlight now)
To break this spell (i'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
I ought to say, no, no, no sir (mind if I move in closer?)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (what's the sense in hurtin' my pride?)
I really can't stay (oh baby don't hold out)
But baby, it's cold outside
I simply must go (but baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no (but baby, it's cold outside)
Your welcome has been(how lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm (look out the window at this dawn)
My sister will be suspicious (gosh your lips look delicious)
My brother will be there at the door (waves upon the tropical shore)
My maiden aunts mind is vicious (gosh your lips are delicious)
But maybe just a cigarette more (never such a blizzard before)
I've gotta get home(but baby, you'd freeze out there)
Say lend me a coat(it's up to your knees out there)
You've really been grand (i thrill when you touch my hand)
But don't you see? (how can you do this thing to me?)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (think of my lifelong sorrow)
At least there will be plenty implied (if you got pnuemonia and died)
I really can't stay (get over that old out)
Baby, it's cold
Baby, it's cold outside

The next meeting will be "Everything iCloud" with a wide range of topics to cover in a short time (see agenda below). Be sure to attend this one to learn about everything that is happening in the background of your Mac, iPhone, iPad and appleTV, whether you use it our not.
Since this is the end of my 20th year as appleJAC President, I'm taking this opportunity to thank all of our members who volunteer for a wide variety of activities, to everyone who faithfully attends our meetings, and to the families of these folks who enjoy the benefits of this knowledge and fellowship. As of this month, we have completed 33 years of continuous service to our members and the community. I feel blessed to be able to share the power and enjoyment of Apple's wonderful technology, as well as related accessories, and I feel rewarded by the warmth and friendship of our group. Best wishes . . .
