Today is the last of the warm days at least through the weekend. The weatherman called the weekend temperature an Arctic blast, but right now the temperatures are predicted to be in the low 202s with some rain turning to snow and accumulating as many as 3 inches. I laughed when I reread this and saw I had written "as many" as 3 inches. That's only a bit more than a dusting in New England or it used to be. This year we all seem to have refined our definition of Arctic and cold and snow storms. Right now it [...]
Today Carole turns 70. I chose songs from Tapestry which I think is her best album to celebrate the occasion.

On the ground this morning was a dusting of snow. I even hesitate to use dusting to describe that snow, but I don't know a smaller word for the amount on the ground. When I went to get the papers, the air reminded me of early spring when the mornings are chilly but hint of a warmer day. It is only 39° now but it is supposed to be in the mid-402s later. I know this is only February, and I know spring is a long way off, but I can't help but think of spring on a day like [...]
Mother Nature must be really in a pleasant mood as today is nearly 50°. The sun is beautiful with a backdrop of the bluest sky and nary a cloud in sight. The fact I have to go to the dentist today is mitigated by how wonderful a ride it will be. That, I never expected. Walking to school every day only bothered me in the rain. I didn't mind the cold; my mother was a bundler. In pleasant weather the sidewalk was shaded by leaves from the giant trees which bordered it. We walked over railroad tracks, the [...]
I want to thank Fred for the suggestions for today's music. Today is Kate and Bill's birthday. Kate would have turned 66. It's hard to believe it has been two years since her passing.
I always feel as if Bill and I should know each other. He was born the same year I was and in the next town over. Today is his birthday also, and I wish him health and happiness.
Okay, I am now looking forward to spring training. On February 19th, pitchers and catchers report, and opening day isn't all that far away. Last year my Red Sox shot themselves in the feet; I have higher hopes for this year. Someone has to win something. I have news. My trip to Ghana last year strengthened my love for that country. When I was leaving, I was upset that I had been there for only two weeks, and I swore I'd go back at least one more time. That one more time is in August. I am booked [...]
I spend over an hour looking for football songs I could have played the Monday Night Theme but it isn't Monday. Some of the rap songs I hated. I couldn't find the L.L. Cool j download or I'd have played that. Sorry for only 2 songs this mighty weekend!
