Hope at 30 degrees

The thermometer is creeping up ever so slowly. The snow is getting flatter, mud is appearing in the pasture. The skies are less gray. But I am still mostly indoors. I am looking forward to getting out. Meanwhile, I broke out the beautiful new laptop-bought in Florida and virtually unused and put some graphics software on it. That was the plan all along. Better get it done before I haul it back to FL.

The Kellerman book was pretty good but he has taken to constructing epilogues-this one in the form of a confession, that seems to me be just a kind of weak way to end the book. This is the second time he has done this (that I know about).

I see the roots of the annual February depression in this taste of real winter. I am so lucky to be able to go south but it is still hot and muggy down there-they are all complaining. I will probably do the same. It might well be that if I had things I enjoyed doing in cold weather, I might enjoy winter. When I skied my feet froze, now my hands freeze.

I had to laugh-my cuz Ed evidently has the same opinion of the Bronco away game uniforms as I do. I thought I had tuned in for the Pumpkins versus the Patriots. I was embarrassed for them.
