Celebrated Valentines Day with my three special ladies in the traditional way - giving them each an enormous chocolate chip cookie afixed to a wire flower stem.
I've been getting my lovely bride long-stemmed cookie flowers for Valentines since we were dating. Just a bit of silly fun, but they do seem to appreciate it.

Nearly 9 inches (12/2/06)

Of snow that is... 
We had quite an intense winter storm pass through last night and this morning leaving us with nearly 9 inches of snow on the ground. Coming after a January when temperatures were generally above normal this is quite a shock to the system.
My eldest helped shovel the drive for the first time and then the children and I had a huge snowball fight until I had to run away since I wasn't a wearing snow suit like they both had on.
Finally, a snow that I could enjoy without getting up at 5 am to call the local media about school closings/delays.

One for the Thumb! (5/2/06)

Allow me a little gloat as my favourite American football team won the Super Bowl today 21-10.
I've been a Pittsburgh fan since the team's glory days of the 1970s when they won a then-record four Super Bowls. And I've stuck with them during the lean times and now they're back on top of the heap!
My eldest stayed up past her bedtime to watch the game and it was great to have someone to share the excitement with!

Friday the 13th is here again if you're superstitious.
I'm not. I've been given 13 as a jersey number in several sports and it's never seemed to bother me.
My great-aunt lived in apartment 13. Her place should have been No. 12, but the folks upstairs asked her to switch because they didn't want to live at No. 13.
Weird eh?
