Nice Weekend

What a nice weekend, beginning with a good, but tired Fri and ending this eve. Fri was a good eve with friends and Sat AM opened with about 4" of snow, light and fluffy--good to shovel. And, I got out there early enough so I beat the LOUD snowblowers. One neighbor, though, was out in his drive talking on his cell phone--does a cell phone require the user to yell into it? This guy was loud, as if having a conversation with me, standing right beside me. Ha--cell phones.

The basketball games were OK, too. The first one we weren't so hot, not playing very well. But the second game was a lot of fun. I think two guys scored for the first time in two years! And all of the guys but one really played hard, hustling, going after balls, playing defense as if they meant it. It was fun. And it was fun watching their faces beam after being told how well they were doing.

The wine party was fun--let's let it stay at 14 empty wine bottles on the kitchen counter this AM, not to mention the partly full ones in the ice box and the reds/dry whites we just had others take home. Did I say LaBatts, too?

This AM, on my way home from my run, I noticed blue sky! Yep, blue sky. I tried to remember the last time I saw that--maybe a week and a half ago? Then, the sky was sunny all afternoon, although the online weather for Commerce Twp read "cloudy" all day. But, this AM going out at the start of my run, it was a beautiful portrait in gray and black--the white snow from yesterday mixing with the stark blacks and grays of the trees and roads. Jut beautiful! Big storm advisory out for Tue eve/Wed AM--8 to 12" being forecast, now. We'll see.

I enjoyed writing Feb's column, too. Three of four classes of papers are graded, too. I might just finish the last one tomorrow.
