The big one

Or one to watch or whatever it was supposed to be. It was indeed messy and I could have gone to work as I'm allowed, being a media person, even in a level 3, but alas I could not make myself do it on Wednesday.

Monday night, we went to Ann Arbor and saw John Hiatt and Lyle Lovett, which was a swell time all around, although the food at the Grizzly Peak was unexceptional. The concert was great. Those 2 guys are amazing guitarists and vocalists and songwriters. The song that sticks with me is Hiatt's 'Have a Little Faith.'

It started snowing hard when we crossed the state line and by the time we got to Sal's where I had parked my car, the roads were drifting a lot. We plowed on home, me and Amy, only seeing one other car and it was in the ditch across from the Community Center, with its lights on. We didn't stop.

Tuesday, it sucked driving home and Wednesday, I just stayed here. Shoveled, which took forever and still my driveway is barely open enough to get my car into.

Last night, I did some heavy lifting on the B&B website and tonight, I will do some last minute tidying up and ftp it to a server so we can look at it and tweak it and make it real. I kept having these mental blocks about doing the photos and other things but I think it's about ready.

This weekend--not much. Which is good. Sunday is the Super Bowl which I will check at the end of each quarter to see if I won in the office pool. Have a Ginger and the Snaps meeting Sunday at noon.

Kim has announced cards at their house on March 5, just days before she turns the big 5-0.

Today, I tried to buy pants. Maybe some black jeans or some casual wear that's not jeans. Tried on 8 pairs. None good. For one reason or another. So I bought a sweater and a purple wool jacket on clearance and a spring dress that looks cute although I didn't try it on but I knew if I didn't buy now, they'd not have my size later. I have 60 days to return it. Then I stopped at Churchill's and got a pork roast and a jar of Keith's BBQ sauce and some chocolate bars and some peppadew peppers that I intend to stuff with cheese of some sort and milk. And 3 bottles of vino. Drinking some 2007 Domaine de Fontsainte.

I need to make more wine notes.

I was talking to Miss Jenks the other night and she was bemoaning that she has not learned Spanish or to play her guitar in her spare time, which she has plenty of. Oh, that we all would get on that stuff we keep meaning to do.

Listening to Big Head Todd's Rocksteady CD.
